Worcestershire homebuyers looking to move should consider buying a new build property, as leading developer David Wilson Homes reveals the benefits of buying new at Abbey Gate.

Demand for new build homes has soared by 66% since the housing market reopened[1], and they come with a variety of benefits, including an easy buying process, increased energy efficiency, and higher specification and quality.

Valerie Martin, Sales Manager at David Wilson Homes Mercia, said: “Those looking for a new home may be unaware of the many advantages of buying new. 

“The development on Nine Days Lane is conveniently located close to Studley Nature Reserve and is surrounded by pretty woodland and green open spaces, providing a great opportunity for buyers to buy a luxury home in an idyllic location.

“We hope that this guide helps buyers understand that purchasing a new build property can help a variety of buyers and means that you can choose the perfect home for you.”

Get in early and make it your own 

Buyers considering Abbey Gate have the opportunity to consider buying their home off plan. This means purchasing a property before it's reached build completion, sometimes before construction has started. 

Abbey Gate has four homes remaining to reserve with three or four bedrooms. They are ideal for first time buyers wanting to make their mark on the property ladder, or for families that require extra space to grow into.

Buying off plan comes with its own array of benefits, such as getting the pick of the plots by reserving early and being able to personalise the property down to three finishing touches. It is a blank canvas that gives budding homeowners more control in designing their home, with the opportunity to add extra features to suit their needs.

High quality with low quality maintenance

Valerie continued: “The properties at Abbey Gate are built with quality in mind under the watchful eye of the development's Site Manager, who has won two Pride in the Job awards, the industry's top accolade, during his time with David Wilson Homes.”  

Using the latest construction materials means that there is less need for maintenance and related expenditure, and at Abbey Gate buyers have the option to take their pick of high spec upgrades in the design such as built-in wardrobes, flooring upgrades, or landscaping packages. 

New build homes also come with a 10 year warranty and protection scheme from the National House Building Council (NHBC), so prospective buyers can put concerns should anything go wrong to the back of their mind.

Decreasing bills and increasing efficiency and security 

In 2017, buyers living in new build properties found that they saved as much as £600 a year on their energy bills thanks to modern construction methods centred on the need to reduce our carbon footprint.[2]

This need has continued, and the properties at Abbey Gate are built to fit in into the top energy efficiency levels. Modern features such as dual flush toilets and double or triple glazed windows combine to make these properties more environmentally friendly.

Top safety and security measures are also in place, making buyers feel safer and more secure when considering their dream home.

There are five properties available to reserve now at Abbey Gate, with prices starting from £267,500.Buyers should visit the David Wilson Homes website to book an appointment to visit Abbey Gate, or contact the sales enquiry line on 0333 3558 480. For more information visit www.dwh.co.uk/abbeygate
