  • Bit of a volte face from the village life q... am I daft to consider a new build?

  • We considered one, @soul is a fan.

    Probably would have gone ahead with it if it weren’t for the stupid conditions and charges associated with it.

    Oh and the garage wouldn’t fit a T5.

    Two things concerned me - the inevitable shit fest of post move in snagging and resale value. Can’t help but feel nobody wants a second hand ‘new build’ house.

  • First flat we bought and current house are new builds. Definitely a fan of the convenience / ready to go element as well as having brand new fixtures and fittings and good energy efficiency.

    Worth noting that both places were in small developments (current one is 14 houses) with smaller companies who tend to put a little more care into them than the barrat types.

    Very happy with the current one.
