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.

Achievable, affordable buying schemes

We offer a number of options to help you buy, such as Part Exchange or our easymover scheme.

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

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 average 3-bed semi-detached to new build standard is over £73,000**. We work with the Environment Agency at planning stage and NHBC throughout the build, to guarantee you a high specification home.
Our quality assurance

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.
