New homes vs old homes

Choosing a home for you and your family is an exciting yet sometimes daunting decision. If you have been researching both new and old homes you will already know a few reasons why it is better to buy new, but you might be surprised at just how many there are:

Designed for today

All David Wilson homes have been meticulously designed with truly contemporary lifestyles in mind. Our large kitchens are ideal for entertaining and experimenting with new dishes, our bathrooms are geared towards absolute luxury and relaxation and we can provide the bright, open-plan spaces that you simply wouldn’t find in older properties.

No nasty surprises

Older homes are very good at hiding potential problems. So even after a successful survey, you could be caught out with electricity or plumbing problems a few short years in. Every new home we build comes with a 10-year NHBC warranty.

Up to four times more energy efficient

Thanks to our ambition to provide the highest-calibre of new homes on the market, we ensure that every home contains the latest energy-saving devices and is properly insulated. As well as reducing your carbon footprint, your eco-friendly home also means smaller energy bills.

Cutting-edge technology

As you’d expect from homes of such high quality, our state-of-the-art fitted kitchens, bathrooms and home entertainment facilities are fully equipped with the latest technology.

First-rate safety

Featuring secure double-glazed windows, fire-resistant materials, circuit breakers and smoke alarms, new David Wilson homes are much more prepared to protect your family than older homes would be. Plus, modern locks and alarms mean lower insurance premiums.

Easy maintenance

When we build our homes we use the best-quality materials available, which means you don't have to worry about the risk of woodworm or leaks that might threaten an older property.

Ready-made communities

We choose fantastic locations for all our new homes, making sure they are close to shops, schools, transport links and local amenities, including play areas, communal spaces and parks.

Ready when you are

With a new home you can avoid many of the stresses and delays that come with buying an older home. There’s no need to worry about surveys or upward chains – as soon as your new home’s completed, you can move straight in.

Choose your décor

There is such a wide range of striking David Wilson homes that you can pick the one that suits your style perfectly. And if you reserve before building is finished, you can personalise your new home before you move in – simply choose from our exquisite collection of carpets, curtains, tiles and paint colours.
