WHY BUY WHEN YOU CAN BUILD?

You have finally decided it is time to make the great Aussie dream a reality and start researching to buy your first home. You might be a young money saver that is ready to bite the bullet, a family looking to escape the rent trap or even empty nesters that have always lived under someone else’s roof. Whatever the scenario it is worth considering a new build over buying established, here is why!

1. You can have your home built to suit your lifestyle and tastes…
At Adenbrook Homes, we are not a custom builder but we do have an incredible selection of award-winning single and double storey homes that are certain to meet your needs. You want a home office? We can help you there. Looking at making a feature of your powder room? We’ve got you covered. Always dreamt of having a retreat away from the main living zones? Look no further. Building allows you to construct a home to meet your vision with no need for costly renovations to create your dream space. You just move right in.

2. The ongoing running costs are lower…
When you build a new home, you have the opportunity to consider the functionality and sustainability of your home. Without any old wiring, or rusty pipes, you create a space that offers low running costs, capitalises on solar energy and saves you big dollars in the long run. The overall maintenance of your home costs less in a new home also. We provide a maintenance guide for your home that outlines all the items you should tend to after you move into your home to ensure the longevity of your appliances and home in general.

3. Issues and defects may be covered under warranty…
Further to the maintenance guide supplied by Adenbrook Homes, we also ensure that your home is subject to a maintenance period. During this period, you have time to experience what it is like to live in your new home and notice any small issues or defects that may arise between handover and the end of the maintenance period. You simply need to document and liaise with your local builder to have any issues resolved or even contact the manufacturer if there is an issue with a specific appliance or product. You simply don’t get this luxury when buying established.

4. New estates come with great facilities and surrounds…
While the real estate market booms across Australia, we have noticed a land shortage, however this has also fuelled future development plans. The trend we are noticing is that land estates and new developments are no longer the traditional plot of land for high density home building but rather become their own lifestyle communities complete with parks, walking tracks, cafes, convenience stores and other amenities all within an easy stroll from your new home. You can easily live, work and play in one area without needing to commute around for adventures or necessities.

5. There are financial incentives for some buyers…
Another great reason to build is the potential financial incentives available for new home owners and investors. If you are a first home buyer you could be eligible for the First Home Owners grant which varies from state to state. First home buyers can also save money with reduced stamp duty, while investors can claim depreciation quite rapidly over the first few years, which is a good tax benefit to take advantage of making building new a better option.

Regardless of your situation, it is worth exploring building over buying established for a variety of reasons, whether it be style and taste, financial benefits or being located in a brand new estate. Whatever your motivation, Adenbrook Homes are here when you are ready to start your new home journey.
