Well-known for their clean, sleek lines, many house hunters will often dismiss a new build home as too modern, or lacking in character and charm when compared to older, more traditional homes.

But a new development by CALA Homes in Wantage hopes to bust those myths, with a range of stunning bespoke properties which will change your perspective of what a new build can be.

Here are 7 reasons why now is the perfect time to buy a new build property from CALA Homes.

1. Energy efficiency

New builds are renowned for having better energy efficiency. For example, you will save on costs for amenities such as double glazing, effective boilers and water saving systems just to name a few.

2. A blank canvas 

While a big renovation project will provide the opportunity to really put your mark on a property, new builds offer the same without the accompanying expense. They offer a 'blank canvas' which allows owners to stamp their personality on the home and offer them the opportunity to create their own living space to suit their needs.

3. Lower maintenance

New builds are built with high specification interiors, which prevent costs of upgrading an old home with less maintenance involved on components such as insulation, a new kitchen, rewiring and central heating.

4. The house chain is reduced

As the house buying chain is reduced, there is no need to wait for existing owners to move out, meaning that there is more confidence involved that the sale will be completed.

5. Accommodate building regulations

New homes are designed and constructed to today’s stringent building regulations and come with a 10-year NHBC warranty.

6. Several incentives are available

Incentives such as the Part Exchange and the Help to Buy scheme are available to help purchasers buy their new home.

7. Locations carefully selected

Locations for new homes are carefully selected by housebuilders to ensure a good level of local schooling and appropriate road and rail links providing easy access to surrounding areas.

A little bit about Fullers Meadow

Oxford Mail: Fullers Meadow interior Fullers Meadow interior

A new housing development by CALA Homes, Fullers Meadow is situated in the historic market town of Wantage.

Adding to those 7 main reasons above, 90 per cent of the homes at Fullers Meadow, are priced under £600,000 and therefore will be available to purchase with the support of the government backed ‘Help to Buy Equity Loan’ scheme, suitable for first-time buyers and those looking to trade up.

Alternatively, existing homeowners can also make use of CALA’s Part Exchange Service to purchase their new home, as well as families who are looking to move to the next step of the property ladder, making the most of good local schooling and road and rail connections for work.

The property itself is in a sought-after area and is part of the new Kingsgrove consortium development, which is within walking distance of Wantage’s award-winning high street. Part of a bespoke collection, the development comprises of two, three, four and five-bedroom houses, as well as one and two bed apartments.

As well as all of those significant benefits of buying a new build, at Fullers Meadow you also have access to a fully integrated kitchen, flooring throughout, landscaping to the front and turf to the rear gardens, a provision for an electric car charging point with an electric garage door opener, an external electrical point with a water tap and lighting, built in wardrobes (beds one and two only), heated towel rails and hyperoptic fibre broadband.

It is not just Fullers Meadow to look out for, as CALA Homes has a portfolio of developments across Oxfordshire including Wolvercote Mill in Oxford, Carmel Meadows in Wallingford and Hopefield Grange in Benson.
