4 reasons to build new!
Should you buy a new house and land package, or an existing home? We share four of the benefits that come with buying a brand new home.
-
You choose to design, it’s built for you
When building a new home, you can often choose the land, floorplan, and design to suit your individual style and budget. You will advise your First Home Specialist of your preference for the internal and external colour schemes and the inclusions you desire.
You will also know the builder quality and if you have questions about the build, your First Home Specialist will be there to give you helpful and accurate information. When purchasing an existing property, it’s not uncommon for unexpected issues to arise down the track which you may be left to fix at your expense.
-
Government Grants and Schemes
Your First Home Specialist will help you take advantage of Government Grants and Incentives. For example, the First Home Owners Grant is only available when buying or building a brand new home which contributes towards your deposit.
There are many government incentives that your First Home Specialist can assist you with by determining which grants may be available to you.
-
High safety standards
The Building Code of Australia (BCA) provides the minimum necessary requirements for safety, health, amenity, and sustainability in the design and construction of new buildings (and new building work in existing buildings) throughout Australia.
Constructed to the latest building codes, a new home includes a wide range of safety measures to protect families. Electrical circuit protectors, safety glass, and hard-wired smoke detectors are just a few safety examples.
-
Low maintenance
It’s absolutely true that brand-new properties require less repairs and maintenance than older ones. A new property often comes with a builder’s warranty and appliance warranties which can save you money on ongoing costs. With a new home, you will have less maintenance costs.
Many homeowners find newer properties much more appealing because of their modern style, features, and smart home gadgets.
