New Homes Week, Why Buying New Makes Sense

New Homes Week is a great opportunity to pause and look at why buying a new build could be the best option for you.

At Yorkshire Choice Homes, we know that affordability, running costs and upfront expenses are key considerations for today’s buyers. That’s why we focus on delivering homes that are designed to keep costs down long after you’ve moved in, alongside tailored support and incentives that help make buying possible in the first place.

 

Modern new build homes aren’t just more efficient they’re designed to suit today’s lifestyles.

Many of our properties feature open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces, creating a more sociable, flexible environment that works just as well for everyday family life as it does for entertaining friends. These layouts allow natural light to flow through the home, making spaces feel brighter, more connected and easier to adapt as needs change.

Alongside layout and design, today’s homes are built to modern performance standards. The Watt a Save: The New Build Advantage report shows just how much this matters

 

According to the report:

  • 87% of new build homes achieve an EPC rating of A or B
  • Only 5% of existing homes reach the same level

 

Older homes often require significant upgrades to insulation, heating and ventilation to improve comfort and efficiency. These works can be costly, disruptive and still may not achieve the same results as a home designed to modern standards from the outset.

 

Why new build homes make financial sense

Modern design and construction don’t just improve how a home feels,  they also reduce how much it costs to run.

 

The report also highlights that:

  • A typical EPC A or B rated home costs around £1,574 a year to run
  • An EPC D rated home costs £1,995 per year, around £421 more
  • Homes rated EPC F or G can cost over £2,190 a year, more than £600 extra annually

 

Support that helps you get moving

While long-term running costs are important, we know that the biggest hurdle for many buyers is getting started. That’s why we offer practical support designed to accommodate a wide range of circumstances.

Depending on your situation, this may include:

  • Deposit contributions
  • Incentives to help reduce upfront costs
  • Flexible support for first-time buyers, home movers and downsizers

 

Clear, straightforward guidance from our experienced sales teams. Our focus is on helping you understand your options and move forward with confidence, without pressure.

If you’re thinking about your next move, New Homes Week is the perfect time to come and talk things through. Our sales centre at Millside Lakes, in Askern near Doncaster, is open and welcoming visitors.
