I liked the idea of working with a developer to buy a new house – it’s not that I wanted to buy a new house that I’d designed, but I did quite like the idea of being a ‘founder’ on an estate.  I was delighted to get the chance to buy one of the first houses on one of the local new home developments, and looked at my new house from plan, through shell and build to finish.  So I looked at new home developments.

The process isn’t easy

The process itself isn’t easy.  It’s hard to be patient when it seems like nothing is happening, and mine wasn’t one of the first houses to be completed – in fact I got bumped from phase one, to phase 2 because they sold more houses in the a different area, and had to move the phases so that they could get those houses built first.  There were delays, and I was worried for a while, but it’s been great at the end of it all.  There was no waiting for anyone to move out, there was no waiting for the house to become available due to issues with the seller – and once it was built, I could move straight in.  All in all I couldn’t recommend buying a new home development house more.
