Yahoo Finance Property: 9 new homes for the new year
What better way to kick off 2023 than by buying a brand new home?
New-builds are designed for today’s lifestyles, with open plan layouts, ensuite bathrooms and utility areas, and incorporating the latest technology.
They’re far better insulated and more energy efficient than their older counterparts so bills are lower, and everything’s in pristine condition so you won’t have the hassle and expense of renovations and repairs.
If all this sounds tempting, try these developments which have just hit the market.
1. Beauchamp Park, Warwick, Warwickshire, from £94,500 for 35% of £270,000
A collection of two- and three-bedroom apartments and houses with fully-integrated kitchen appliances and sleek bathrooms, available through shared ownership.
This initiative is aimed at first-time and other buyers who can’t afford to purchase outright, enabling them to buy a share and pay rent on the balance, with the opportunity to increase their stake later on.
Warwick station is under a mile away and the historic town centre’s a seven-minute drive. Find out more from L&Q.
2. Le Spot, Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise, Rhones-Alpes, France, from €275,280 (£241,995)
Slopes, ski schools, shops and restaurants are all within walking distance of this development, located in a family-friendly ski resort in the ever-popular French Alps.
Currently being sold off-plan, the 48 one- to four-bedroom apartments and duplexes are projected to generate substantial rental income when not being used as holiday homes.
They feature large balconies with panoramic mountain views, private cellars and heated ski lockers and after a hard day on the piste, residents can unwind in the pool, sauna, hammam and Jacuzzi. Through Terresens UK.
3. Millerbank, Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, from £225,000
Conveniently located in the town centre, each of these three-bedroom houses includes a study or home office space, wardrobes in the main bedroom and allocated parking, and there’s the opportunity to snap up the Hollywood-inspired show home, complete with landscaped garden and upgraded fixtures and fittings.
Reserve any home by the end of January to take advantage of one of these deals: 5% deposit paid, a cash lump sum or Part Exchange Plus whereby the developer buys your existing home or pays estate agency fees. Find out more from Miller Homes.
