Search new homes and flats for sale from the UK's best new-build developers

Thinking about a move to a new home? There are plenty of benefits that come with buying a new-build home.

You'll find that many new homes end up achieving the highest EPC ratings of A or B. So as well as being easier to keep at a comfortable temperature, new builds will often have lower running costs than older homes.

The average energy efficiency score for homes built between 1900 and 1990 is 63, which is a D rating. For newly built houses built since 2016, this average score rises to 81 points, or energy efficiency rating B. This is because many new homes are fitted with the latest energy efficient heating systems, such as heat pumps, which are operated by electricity rather than gas, or A-rated gas boilers.

Many new new-build developments also focus on creating a sense of community by having parks, play areas and nature reserves on site. Lots of developers offer financial incentives, and some homes can be purchased via schemes like Shared Ownership, which can help make moving home a more affordable option.
