What are the Advantages of Buying a New Build Home?

There’s a premium feeling when you walk into a brand-new home where every wall, finish, and fitting feels fresh and made just for you. 

At Shanly Homes, buying a new build home (link to new build page when live) means investing in quality craftsmanship, energy efficiency and peace of mind from day one. From the latest construction standards to exceptional aftercare, here’s why so many buyers are choosing new builds.

Why Buyers Choose New Build Homes 

Buying a new build home offers comfort, convenience, and long-term savings. Unlike older properties, new homes are designed around how people live today: open layouts, lower running costs, smart heating systems and the reassurance of modern warranties.

At Shanly Homes, each of our developments across London and the South East combine thoughtful design with lasting quality (link to new build page when live).

Efficiency That Saves You Money Every Month

One of the biggest advantages of buying a new build home is lower energy use and smaller bills*. Shanly Homes builds with energy performance and sustainability in mind, meeting the latest efficiency standards.

High-quality insulation, modern glazing, and low-energy lighting all work together to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. This helps reduce running costs compared with older homes, where inefficient systems can quickly add up (link to new homes page when live).

With energy prices still high, this efficiency translates directly into savings and long-term comfort.

Peace of Mind with Warranties and Protection

When buying a new build home (link to new build page when live), peace of mind is priceless. We provide a two-year Shanly Homes customer care warranty, followed by a 10-year insurance-backed structural guarantee, so you can relax knowing your home is protected.

All Shanly Homes’ properties are covered by the New Homes Quality Code, offering transparency, protection and reassurance if issues arise.

Ready to Live, Not Renovate

Another key advantage of buying a new build home is that everything is move-in ready. There’s no need to budget for a new roof, boiler, or bathroom, and no surprises hidden behind the walls.

Every fixture and finish is brand new, so you can focus on making the space your own. Many Shanly Homes buyers also enjoy the ability to personalise finishes and choose specifications when they reserve early. You’ll find the option to do this on our individual property pages, or get in touch with our team if you have any specific property questions. 

That means your new home feels like yours from the moment you turn the key, and from there you can make it yours for years to come.

Built for Modern Living and Lifestyle

Buying a new build home (link to new build page when live) gives you the benefit of layouts designed for modern life, light-filled spaces, open-plan living areas, and practical storage throughout.

Many of our Shanly Homes’ developments offer gardens and off-street parking, while our contemporary apartments are crafted with balconies, terraces, and landscaped communal areas (link to new apartments page when live).

Each home is carefully designed by in-house architects and built by trusted teams, ensuring quality and comfort at every stage.

Buying Made Simpler

The process of buying a new build home is typically more straightforward than purchasing an existing property. There’s no upward chain to delay your move, and timelines are clearer from reservation to completion.

At Shanly Homes, our experienced Sales Teams guide you through each stage, from selecting your plot and choosing your flooring to arranging your mortgage and agreeing your completion date.

Support & Incentives That Help You Move

Buying a new build home (link to new build page when live) with Shanly Homes can also open the door to tailored incentives and support schemes. Depending on availability, you may be eligible for deposit or Stamp Duty contributions, Key Worker discounts, or Shared Ownership opportunities.

Through Milestone by Shanly Homes, buyers can purchase an initial share in a new property and pay a reduced rent on the remainder, making ownership more accessible.

What Our Buyers Say

Mr and Mrs Munich

The Croft, Binfield - 4 bedroom house

"What we like best about the development is the landscaping, and the fact that all of the properties look different from one another. Shanly Homes clearly put a lot of thought into how each house was designed and arranged within the development. The open-plan kitchen/living room was a key selling point for us. We have had such a great experience from Shanly Homes. If we were to buy again, we would definitely consider buying a Shanly home."
