Should you buy the showhome on a housing development? A quick online search reveals plenty of conflicting opinions. With the showhome at Kempster’s Reach in Worton, near Devizes, now available with a special summer package* covering removal costs, legal fees and stamp duty, climate considerate developer, Newland Homes, sets out the facts and helps settle the debate once and for all.
The purchase of a new home is probably the largest financial transaction that most people will ever make and for those that have difficulty visualising from a floorplan, buying the finished showhome helps a buyer to see exactly what they’re getting. But the benefits don’t stop there.
As the American business magnet Warren Buffett famously said, “price is what you pay, value is what you get.” When you buy a showhome, not only will you be getting a fabulous home, but also you’ll benefit from the many upgrades a developer puts into the property to demonstrate its most luxurious products. At Kempster’s Reach for example, the five-bedroom detached Prestleigh home comes with upgraded porcelain worktops and luxurious flooring throughout.
How many of us have dreamed of having an interior designer work their magic on our homes? The select roster of interior designers used by Newland Homes create schemes which are aspirational but liveable, with beautiful colour palettes, luxury flooring and tactile wallpapers. People who have moved into a newly constructed home are usually advised to pause before painting, as new houses need time to settle. Not in a showhome however, as this process has usually taken place and the showhomes are also maintained to a high standard throughout their life. In turn, this offers buyers a ‘turn-key’ purchase meaning they can move in and put their feet up.
Furthermore, a landscaped, mature and established garden is a thing of beauty, requiring a significant investment of both time and money. As gardens are seen as an extension of a home, a showhome garden is treated with the same lavish attention as the interiors, and it’s not uncommon for Newland Homes to spend tens of thousands of pounds on landscaping and maintaining a showhome garden, ready for its forever owner.
Marcus Evans, Sales and Marketing Director for Newland Homes, debunks some of the most commonly voiced myths about buying a showhome: “These properties are the jewel in the crown for any development. We often hear rumours that they are all show and no substance, but that’s absolutely not the case for Newland Homes. These are our showpieces; they are constructed to our exacting standards, have full warranties, and our teams keep them in tip-top condition. The showhome is ironically the property that everyone wants to buy, but it’s the last one we as the developer want to sell.”
The Prestleigh showhome at Kempster’s Reach has just been released for sale at £749,000, offering buyers the chance to move into a beautifully finished, professionally styled, energy efficient new home. Newland Homes is also taking care of some of the biggest costs associated with moving home, with a special summer package* covering removal costs, legal fees and stamp duty to make the entire move feel more straightforward.
