Day 2 Shot 3

There are so many fantastic reasons to buy a new-build home, from enjoying lower energy bills all year round, to having a perfect blank canvas to decorate exactly as you wish, and an exciting new community to become part of. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving up the property ladder, or searching for your forever home, take a closer look at how choosing a new home could have a positive impact upon your wellbeing – from the day you get your keys, to many years after you move in.

The wellbeing benefits of buying a new-build home

Everything in your home will be brand new, and impeccably clean

One of the greatest advantages of buying a new-build home is opening the door to a pristinely clean, and freshly painted interior, complete with brand-new appliances – from the oven and hob to the heating system. This provides peace of mind that your new home will be ready to move into straight away, and you won’t need to worry about any unexpected surprises, such as an older boiler breaking down or having to carry out a deep clean before you can start unpacking.

With this knowledge, your moving day, and those crucial first few days that follow will be much less stressful, as you can focus on settling in and making your brand-new house into your perfect home. When you buy a new Bellway home, you’ll also have the reassurance of a 10-year warranty and insurance protection, and the support and advice of our expert Customer Care team just a phone call or email away.

You won’t have the stress of redecorating or renovating

Your new-build home interior is an immaculate blank canvas, ready for you to add your personal touches and express your unique tastes through its décor. After moving in you won’t need to spend time and energy removing wallpaper or repainting, or tackling inconvenient renovation jobs such as installing a new kitchen or bathroom, and certainly not more expensive and stressful projects like replacing an old roof, all of which are challenges that you could face when buying a second-hand home.

When you reserve your new-build home, you may have the option to choose aspects of its interior such as the kitchen cabinets and fittings, bathroom wall tiling, and flooring, meaning that you can make your home individual to you even before you move in. Knowing that your new home is already finished with high-quality fixtures and fittings leaves you free to focus on planning how you’re going to decorate!

What’s more, Additions upgrades may be available on your new Bellway home, that help you to ensure your dream home is exactly how you imagined. The options and Additions that are available to you vary by development and are subject to your home’s construction stage at reservation, and your sales advisor is always best placed to discuss this with you and guide you through the process.

You can choose a home that fits, and enhances, your lifestyle

With so many new-build house styles available to choose from, you can find a home that offers you exactly what you need – whether that’s dedicated space for working from home, or working out; enough rooms and bathrooms for a growing household; an open-plan living area that brings your family together; or simply more storage than what you already have.

Having a home that truly suits and supports your ideal lifestyle will be enormously beneficial to your wellbeing, and that of every other member of your household. You could finally have the perfect kitchen in which to entertain guests, a cosy living room for movie nights with the kids, or a spacious garden for pets to run around in. Whatever you’re dreaming of, a new-build home can make it possible.

You’ll make new friends as part of a growing community

A truly unique aspect of the experience of buying a new-build home is that you become part of a brand-new community from its very beginning. This provides so many opportunities to build bonds, and even lifelong friendships with your neighbours, as you embark on a shared journey and find yourself at home in a wonderful and welcoming neighbourhood that is unlike anywhere else – which is something to really feel great about.

Even before moving into your new home, you could meet your future neighbours on social media, as many buyers on new-build home developments set up dedicated Facebook groups or WhatsApp chats to connect with one another and start building community spirit even long before moving in. There is also a thriving, supportive, and ever-growing community of Bellway homeowners on Instagram – just take a look at the #mybeautifulbellway hashtag to find hundreds of buyers, at all stages of their new-build home experience.

You can feel good about choosing an energy-efficient home

A long-term benefit of buying a new-build home is that you can look forward to cheaper energy bills, with savings of almost £2,000 a year compared to the average running costs of a second-hand home. With rising energy prices frequently making the headlines, it’s so reassuring to know that every detail of your home – from its insulation through to window glazing – has been carefully considered so you can enjoy a warmer home, that saves you money.

The pioneering technologies used in the construction of energy-efficient new-build Bellway homes contribute to a reduction of 65% in household energy bill prices, and 99% of all new Bellway homes hold an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of B or above – whereas only 5% of existing homes hold the same rating. So, your household running costs can be one less thing on your mind.

Not only that, but new build Bellway homes are constructed using sustainable and recycled materials where possible, such as insulation made from bottle-bank glass. Great news for you, and for our environment.

You’ll have support throughout your buying journey

From the first time you speak with a Bellway sales advisor, to long after you’ve moved in, you’ll have the support of our team to ensure your new-build home journey is as smooth and stress free as possible. Unlike when buying a second-hand home, you’ll receive care and attention beyond collecting your keys, and the peace of mind that any concerns or questions regarding your new home will be addressed as soon as possible.

You could also have help with buying your dream Bellway home, thanks to a number of schemes and incentives available to make your home more affordable. Your sales advisor can provide you with more information on what is available to you, according to your current circumstances; should you need advice on getting a mortgage to buy your home, your sales advisor can also put you in touch with one of our panel of trusted independent mortgage advisors, who are qualified to assist you through the process.

With so much support and expert advice available at every step of the process, choosing a new-build home could be the most enjoyable home buying experience you ever have.
