Why families are choosing new build homes
Instead of the disappointment of compromising on your dream home, what if you could tick every box – for you, and your loved ones?
Buying a new home is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make, especially when you have a growing family to take care of. Read on to discover why, more and more, families are choosing new builds – and what makes a Charles Church home that much more special.
1. Details that matter
Making your new home more luxurious, spacious and tailored to you, our latest models include lifestyle-enhancing features.
On the lower ground, many designs offer bi-fold doors, which open up to a ready-made back garden – that's perfect for summer mealtimes with family and friends. And upstairs (in some models) there’s the ever-handy utility room or a master bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.
You can also adapt and finish your new home to your ideal preference with our Select Options service.
Modern design and family-friendly layouts
From separate living and dining areas to built-in storage, kitchen islands and a bathroom to call your own – our homes are made with modern living in mind.
One of the benefits of new build houses is that they can stay up to date with the changes of how we live, work and play. And many of our latest designs now also include a home office that’s ideal for hybrid working – so you can get the most out of your day, and relax when work hours are done.
2. Energy efficiency that saves time and money
It’s no secret that new build houses are the best choice for energy efficiency. Collectively across the UK, new build homeowners help to reduce carbon emissions by 500,000 tonnes and save around 400 million a year in energy bills.
A big step forward for the environment, they’re a win-win for you too – saving you an average of £3000 per year in household bills.
New build advantages
Thanks to the latest building materials and techniques, plus energy-optimising appliances, we can make significant steps forward. With a Charles Church home, you get brand-new double glazing, first-rate insulation and energy-efficient central heating systems as standard.
New builds also don’t come with the many time-worn repairs of older properties, and when you move into your new home you have our manufacturer’s warranty in place for extra peace of mind.
3. Good-life amenities
You want your new base to give you that ‘can't wait to come home’ feeling. That’s why each of our family-friendly development locations is carefully selected. So you and your family have the best possible access to amenities, schools, excellent transport links and trip-worthy natural spaces.
The immediate community area is also vital, and we put as much detail into a development's shared surroundings as we do our homes. From biodiverse green spaces to nearby parks, allotments and playgrounds – each aspect helps create an easy-living lifestyle for you to enjoy to the full.
4. Protecting the future
Safety and security are a top priority when it comes to choosing a new family home.
Purpose-built with little ones in mind, our developments are made to create genuine peace of mind. For example, main entrances face residential areas and not main roads – giving you instant road safety for your children.
With our Select Options service you can also add security alarms and external lighting before you move in – so you’re protected from day one.
Making sustainable living a reality
Once complete, new builds create 61% less carbon than traditional houses, and with a Charles Church home, you can enjoy features such as argon-filled double-glazed windows and A-rated condensing boilers.
In our constant search to improve, we’ve also created our first net-zero home in York with a real family testing it for one year. The design includes new technology such as an infra-red heating system, and the feedback and findings will go towards the final model.
5. Our schemes and straightforward process
Choosing to go with a new build property, also gives you another key benefit. Instead of searching through multiple estate agents, you can find and reserve your perfect home before it reaches the market – saving you time and energy.
You also don't have to experience the stress of getting your offer accepted, and go through the delays surveys can often bring up.
An easier process than the traditional house-buying route, we have a range of schemes that can get you on the property ladder quickly and save you extra cash.
From first-time buyers to key workers and home movers, our schemes include our Own New Rate Reducer, Part Exchange, Deposit Boost, Staircase Shared Ownership, Armed Forces & Key Worker Discount and many more.
