Buying a first home is a huge milestone and Barratt and David Wilson Homes is helping first-time buyers in Oxfordshire take that step with ease.
Choosing a brand-new home comes with a range of benefits that make homeownership more affordable, practical, and rewarding, which is ideal for those starting their climb on the property ladder. Here are five key reasons why buying a brand-new home could be the best choice:
Energy Efficiency and Lower Bills - New homes are designed with the latest energy-saving technology, from high-performance insulation to double-glazing and efficient heating systems. According to the Home Builders Federation, new homes are typically more energy-efficient than older properties, helping buyers save money on utility bills while reducing their carbon footprint.
A Blank Canvas - When buying a new home, you’re the first to live in it – meaning no outdated décor, no repairs, and no expensive renovations. Everything is fresh and ready to personalise and turn a house into a home.
Peace of Mind with a 10-Year Warranty - Barratt and David Wilson Homes offers a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty, giving first-time buyers extra confidence and reassurance that their new home is built to the highest standards.
Community and Convenience - New developments are thoughtfully designed with green spaces, play areas, and family-friendly streets. Living in a newly established community means residents are surrounded by like-minded neighbours, creating a welcoming atmosphere from day one.
Supportive Buying Schemes - Barratt and David Wilson Homes offers financial support to make homeownership more accessible. Its Parent Power scheme allows a family member or friend to contribute towards a buyer’s deposit, with Barratt and David Wilson Homes matching this contribution up to 5% of the purchase price.
Plus, the Own New - Rate Reducer scheme helps lower mortgage interest rates for the initial term, reducing monthly payments and making that first step onto the ladder more affordable.
Emma Hawkins, Sales Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Southern, said: “We understand how challenging it can be for first-time buyers to take that initial step onto the property ladder, and our schemes are designed to offer practical, financial support at every stage of the journey.
“Our Oxfordshire developments offer a fantastic opportunity to own a stylish, energy-efficient home, and we encourage anyone thinking about buying new to come and see what we have to offer.” Barratt and David Wilson Homes is currently providing new homes at Abbey Fields in Abingdon, River Meadow in Stanford in the Vale, and Brookside Meadows in Grove.
