New Homes
Buying a new build can be the perfect home-buying solution for everyone from first-time buyers to those in search of a family home. From reduced maintenance to energy-saving features, it’s worth taking a look at the latest developments.
At Lacy Scott & Knight we specialise in the sale of new-build homes and all aspects of residential development from single building plots to large development sites. We work closely with our Land and Planning Department to advise developers on the location, design, specification and build mix to make sure we’re building houses that purchasers in the area want to buy.

While many people dream of the romance of living in an older property with character features, the reality becomes less appealing with the constant upkeep and maintenance – replacing kitchens, bathrooms and draughty windows and addressing problems with damp and leaky roofs.
It is possible to have your dream bespoke home built to the latest energy-efficient standards, giving new homeowners the best of both worlds. Buying a new home now offers more benefits than ever before.
When buying a new-build home off plan, or reserving early on in the build process, we work closely with the developer to enable our new home buyer to have input into selecting their preferred kitchen and bathroom fittings, tiling, flooring and, in some instances, even internal layout changes to ensure their own style and requirements are reflected in their brand-new home.
Developers are also conscious of producing different types of housing across an entire site to meet the different requirements of buyers – from two-bedroomed homes for first-time buyers to five-bedroomed detached homes for growing families.

Saving money on bills
In order to comply with the latest building regulations, energy efficiency is now a major consideration. Increasingly we are seeing the incorporation of air source heat pump central heating, high efficiency glazing, mechanical heat recovery and ventilation and high levels of insulation. Increases in energy efficiency can dramatically reduce running costs and benefit the environment.
Advantage of new over old
Smaller energy bills are just one of the reasons to consider buying a new-build home. Brand new means just that – there are no inherited problems to deal with or questionable décor to change. New homes are usually decorated in neutral colours allowing the new owner to add their own creative stamp.
Peace of mind
The majority of developments are covered by a warranty protection guarantee, such as NHBC, Premier or LABC, which ensures the builder is adhering to the required high building standards. Inspections are carried out during various stages of the build to make sure this is the case. These regular inspections and the high quality of building standards negates the need for an expensive survey, reducing your purchase costs even further.
