When you buy a new build, you can enjoy the privilege of being the very first person to live there.

How to buy a new build home in Birmingham

When a new build home is complete, the process is almost the same as when you buy any other type of home. You need to arrange a mortgage as required, carry out surveys and searches and sell your existing home – if you own one. If you need help with the latter, don’t miss offers such as our Part Exchange and Movemaker schemes.

If you’re buying off-plan, the process is slightly different as your new home isn’t built yet. After finding the property you want to buy, you’ll need to pay a holding fee in order to reserve it. Then you should instruct a conveyancer as normal, before organising a new build mortgage. If you’re buying to let, ensure you get an appropriate buy-to-let mortgage.

When all the legal side of things is sorted you can exchange contracts off-plan, paying your deposit at this time. There may be a wait before your new home is completed, but once it is you can carry out a survey to check your property has been built correctly and to your agreed specifications. Once you’re happy, it’s time to complete and move in.
