A fresh look at new build homes
Not sure if a new build is right for you? Check out the facts.
Are you wondering whether to buy a new home or buy old?
Obviously personal taste plays a big part, but there are also some practical reasons why it might make sense to buy new. From higher building standards to low-maintenance living, buying schemes to warranties – it’s important to look at the bigger picture before you decide.
10 reasons why you should buy new
NHBC 10-year warranty for peace of mind
Our homes come with our own 2-year warranty and the NHBC Buildmark 10-year warranty as standard. Even before the 10-year warranty begins, NHBC carries out independent inspections at key stages during construction to help to minimise issues
No chain above you
Buying a new build can take away the risk of lengthy chains and unnecessary stress. In most cases you can move into your new home as soon as it’s complete, no waiting

Save on energy bills
Our brand new homes are fitted with efficient materials to help you save and are, on average, 65% more energy efficient than older properties. Think cost effective central heating, a boiler suited to the size of your home and high quality insulation to keep you warm. You can have peace of mind that you'll be buying a new home from a company committed to climate change and sustainability.
Less water waste
All new Taylor Wimpey homes use, on average, 30% less water than older properties, thanks to flow restrictive taps and water saving appliances.
Superior build quality
New homes are built to a higher standard than ever before, from the latest building materials to the newest appliances. In fact, the cost of upgrading an old home to new build specifications is nearly £45,000. We work with the Environment Agency at planning stage and NHBC throughout the build, to guarantee you a high specification home.
Modern living
Did you know, 17% of space in older properties often goes unused? New build homes make use of every inch, providing flexible, practical spaces, whatever your circumstance.
You get a blank canvas
Whenever you move into a new home, it’s natural that you’ll want to put your own stamp on it. With new builds you have a blank canvas and you can even work with the builder to help shape the space the way you want it. And with Taylor Wimpey, you can use Touchpoint, our unique online portal which allows you to choose interior options and visualise how your new home will feel to live in.
Less DIY, and more you time
Forget all those wasted weekends doing repairs and maintenance. If you find any snags, we’ll take care of them, so you don’t have to.
Be part of a brand new community
We build more than affordable homes. We create jobs and build schools, doctors’ surgeries, parks and other facilities to help you get to know your neighbours. In 2020 we donated £286m to help improve communities, transport links and local infrastructure.
