At Burnham Waters, we believe there are lots of advantages to buying a new build home – especially one of our new build bungalows! So, if you are on the look-out for new retirement homes near me, read on to explore our top five reasons to buy a new build home:

1.New retirement homes near me with improved energy efficiency

If you are looking to reduce your energy consumption – and your fuel bills too, then a new build home is the answer! All new build homes have to adhere to minimum industry-wide standards for energy efficiency, which means they can be much more energy efficient to run. They often require less heating and include an array of energy saving features and technologies from water saving taps and toilets to electric vehicle charging points and Air Source Heat Pumps.

In fact, energy bills for new homes are on average 55% cheaper than for older properties, saving households £135 on monthly running costs (HBF Report ‘Watt a Save’).

At Burnham Waters, we are committed to continually evolve and improve on government standards on sustainability and energy efficiency.

As part of the government’s Future Home Standard, Burnham Waters is being built with energy efficient heating in combination with electricity, solar panels and carbon offsetting (via tree planting). Through these measures, we will be delivering a sustainable community for generations to come.

2.Everything is new - and included in new retirement homes near me!

Another advantage of buying a new build home is that it’s ready for you to move into and everything is included – and brand new!

If you are seeking new retirement homes near me and wondering what the benefits of a new build might be, have you considered that when you buy a new build bungalow at Burnham Waters, you will benefit from a brand new kitchen, with appliances included? Have you thought about the fact that you will be able to enjoy beautifully finished new bathroom suites and underfoot, will be new flooring throughout your new home?

Unlike older properties, everything is brand new, so you don’t have to spend time and money updating kitchens, bathrooms, flooring or even the décor.  

All of these things can significantly reduce the stress and the work involved in moving home. It means you can move straight into your hew home, with the existing furniture of your choosing,  and start enjoying life here!

3.Peace of mind with a new home warranty at Burnham Waters in Essex

If you are purchasing a new build home, you will have the added benefit of a 10-year new home warranty. This means that you have total peace of mind that should any significant defects arise during the first 10 years of living in your new build home, these will be put right.

4.Incentives to assist with your move at Burnham Waters in Essex

When considering new retirement homes near me, another advantage to selecting a new build home, such as the bungalows available at Burnham Waters in Essex, is that there are often additional home buyer incentives or schemes available, to assist with your purchase.

New homes often have a range of home buyer schemes available, which can assist with the costs of moving home. At Burnham Waters, we are offering an Assisted Move service, to help those with an existing property to sell.  

Our Assisted Move scheme is designed to remove the hassle (and sometimes even the costs) associated with selling an existing home. By working in partnership with The New Homes Group, we are able to source agent valuations, work with customers to agree and appoint a chosen agent, and even manage the sales process on the customer’s behalf.

This service enables customers to move forward with their purchase of a new retirement bungalow at Burnham Waters, while giving them peace of mind that the sale of their existing property is all in hand.

At Burnham Waters, we have also recently launched our Recommend a Friend scheme, which has been created to reward existing purchasers, who recommend a friend  or family member who goes on to join our new retirement community here.
