Why choose a new-build home?

Choosing a new-build property means embracing a more modern way of living, in a home designed to be stylish, efficient and practical.

Justin Martin, Head of Pre-Construction at Forge New Homes, sets out the plus points and factors to consider when buying a brand-new home.

Modern specifications for comfortable living

A brand-new property offers state-of-the-art features, thoughtful layouts, and a range of customisation options to really make it feel like home.

One of the standout features of new-build homes is the inclusion of a fully fitted kitchen with high-quality appliances. With a new Forge home, this means trusted brands like Howdens, Hansgrohe, and Porcelanosa, offering both style and durability.

Beyond the kitchen, Forge homes are designed for comfort, convenience and energy-efficiency, with key features such as:

• High levels of insulation – keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer
• Air source heat pumps – the eco-friendly way to heat your home
• Electric vehicle charging points – making it easy to keep your EV charged
• Triple glazing – for enhanced insulation and soundproofing
• Fibre broadband – ensuring your home has the connectivity you need

Thanks to the energy-efficient features of new-build homes, they are on average 31% more efficient than homes built under previous building regulations – and this will be reflected in your utility bills.

What to look for in a new home

New-build homes offer flexibility and personalisation to suit your preferences. Factors to consider include:

• The garden – are its size and orientation right for you? Does it align with your preferences for sunlight and outdoor living?
• Long-term liveability – will this home still suit your needs in 5, 10 or 20 years?
• Customisation – Forge offers lots of choice in colours and finishes within its main styles, allowing you to make your home feel personal to you.
• Optional extras – which of the options and upgrades on offer would really make a difference to you?

Investing in a new-build property means peace of mind for years to come. Forge homes are designed with longevity in mind and come with robust warranties:
