What exactly is a New Build Home?
A new build home is a property that has been built from scratch rather than an older property that has been renovated or extended. It’s a home that no one else has lived in.
New builds have many benefits over older properties:
Cost Savings
LBTT
If you’re buying a property in Scotland, you’ll pay Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) rather than stamp duty. LBTT rates are shown below First-time buyers in Scotland benefit from relief through an increased nil rate band of LBTT up to £145,000.
Property Value LBTT
| Up to £145,000 | Zero |
| The next £105,000 (the portion from £145,001 to £250,000) |

No Renovation Costs
When buying an older property, there are often renovation costs involved–whether it’s replacing flooring or painting walls throughout the entire house (and more). With new builds, these things come ready as part of their specification, so there’s no need for any additional work before moving in!
Modern Design
One of the biggest benefits of buying a new build house is that it’s built to today’s standards. This means you’ll get a more efficient floor plan with features like:
- Energy-Efficient Windows, Doors and Heating
- High-Quality Insulation
- Low-Flow Showerheads and Faucets
Peace of Mind
One of the most important benefits of buying a new build house is peace of mind. You can rest assured that there will be no hidden surprises when you move in because all the work has been done by professionals, and everything has been inspected before you move in.
You’ll also have warranties on all appliances, fixtures and fittings – so if anything breaks down within the first few years after moving into your home, it will be replaced free of charge by the builder or their suppliers. This means that if something goes wrong with your washing machine or dishwasher after six months but before two years (the length of most warranties), then they’ll repair or replace it for free!
Another benefit is home builders insurance – this covers damage caused by fire or storm damage while building work is being carried out at your property; meaning if something happens during construction, then it won’t cost you any extra money!
