This week is New Homes Week 2023. We will be attending the New Homes Show at Birmingham NEC on Saturday, but we also wanted to share with you all the marvellous reasons you should buy new. Each day this week, we will reveal a new reason on social media and our website, so stay posted!
Reason one: Green Mortgages
Despite the bank of England increasing interest rates, mortgage rates are continuing to fall as we move further into 2023 (read more: https://hoa.org.uk/best-mortgage-rates/), which is fantastic news for the UK housing market! However, did you know that if you buy a new build home you could be entitled to a Green mortgage?
So, what is a Green mortgage? Essentially, a Green mortgage means the lender will take into consideration the lower energy costs the buyer will be paying for their home, which will increase their affordability and could result in them offering the buyer a lower interest rate. In some cases, the lender will offer cash back, which is perfect for helping with the buyer's move, or adding their touch of style to their new dream home!
Reason two: Savings on Energy Bills
The recent Watt Save publication by HBF revealed that recent findings showed new home buyers could save over £3,100 per year on their energy bills! Read the full article here: https://www.hbf.co.uk/newsletter/view/6009?pk_campaign=newsletter_6009

Reason four: Extended Mortgage Offers
Did you know that when you use our recommended financial advisors, you are able to have extended mortgage offers of up to 12 months? The industry standard is 3 months, and with it being important to secure the right rate for you, 12 months gives you the flexibility.
What's more? If your lender drops their mortgage rate after you have accepted your mortgage offer, RSC New Homes can switch you to the new rate without impacting anything, so it's a win-win!
Reason five: Choose your own Personal Touches
When you buy a new build from Shropshire Homes, you can choose your own personal touches and finishes, from the kitchen units and flooring to the bathroom.
