• Being able to customize a brand-new home is one of the most exciting aspects of buying a new one. Generally, new homes are decorated with neutral colors, fixtures, and fittings, allowing for considerable personalization. A second-hand property often requires a complete overhaul of the previous owner's tastes and quirks in order to achieve the same result.Construction controls and regulations are usually much better in new homes - especially when compared to houses built before the 1980s. • Furthermore, many developers offer the option to choose kitchen cabinets, wall colors, and flooring when it comes to buying a property before it's finished - known as booking off-plan in the trade. • An initial few years of maintenance are pretty much free with a new build due to a 10-year master build guarantee. • The energy efficiency of new homes tends to be much higher than that of most second-hand homes. This significantly reduces monthly running costs, as a poorly insulated property will result in much higher energy bills.

Through part-buy/part-rent, buyers purchase shares in a property that would otherwise be unaffordable for them.

Freehold – You own the property and the land it is built on for as long as you want. Leasehold – You own the property for a set period of time under a lease (lease period), but not the land it is built on. Land ownership belongs to the original owner/freeholder.

If a lease specifies peppercorn ground rent, it usually means that the leaseholder must provide the freeholder with one peppercorn each year as their rent. In reality, that means the leaseholder pays zero ground rent. This is symbolic, and it's legally accepted as the rent being paid. The peppercorn has no cash value, and the freeholder cannot demand any other payment. This type of rent is sometimes referred to as "nominal" ground rent.

This is the fee collected to maintain the grounds and includes services such as gardening, litter picking and general grounds maintenance.
