The Rising Appeal of New Build Homes: Energy Efficiency Leads the Way

In today's property market, new build homes are experiencing a surge in popularity. Recent data from the Property Academy Home Movers Survey 2024 reveals that 53% of home movers would consider purchasing a new build property – a significant increase from 47% last year.

This growing interest spans all age demographics, challenging the traditional perception that new builds primarily attract first-time buyers. The driving force? Energy efficiency tops the list, with 70% of respondents citing this as their primary motivation amid rising energy costs.

Other compelling benefits include reduced maintenance requirements (65%) and the advantage of moving into a ready-to-live-in property (64%). While buyers remain mindful of build quality (61%) and room dimensions (47%), these considerations highlight the importance of choosing the right property partner.
