Home Buyers Guide
10 Reasons to buy a new McInerney home*
1. Save £50,000! *
Buy a second hand home and, on average, you'll spend £22,000* on getting it just the way you want it. Also, on average, UK adults spend over five hours a week doing DIY and gardening related activities and it takes a year to get it to your required standard*.
You'll also spend an average of £28,000† on a deposit, stamp duty and solicitor's fees. That's £50,000 you need to find at a time when finding any amount isn't easy.

5.Blank canvas
There's nothing quite like the feeling of moving into a completely new home untouched by previous occupiers.
New home owners don't have to worry about the previous owners bad taste as soon as they move in and can instead take their time deciding on the decor without having to worry about anything like re-wiring or knocking walls down.
6.Reduce your energy bills*
Unless you live in a hermetically sealed home, you're almost certainly occupying the global warming equivalent of a sieve.
Older British homes leak heat badly.
New homes don’t have to cost the earth (quite literally) and will use 40% less energy than homes built prior to 1992.
This could save you about £500 a year on fuel bills. Better for the environment and better for your bank balance!
7.Move in fast
There's no upward chain when buying a new home so you don't have to wait for the existing owner to vacate the property.
Also, with our McPX part-exchange scheme, the hassle and stress of selling your home is removed.

8.Safe and sound
All our New homes are designed to adhere to high building standards.
These standards relate to every aspect of a building's construction including its structure, ventilation, sound insulation, electrical and fire safety, so new home owners can enjoy living in a safe and secure environment.
Also, the modern locks and alarms means lower house and contents insurance premiums.
9.The green issue*
Older homes demand more energy than they ought to for heating and they also waft heat into the atmosphere.
A new home produces 60% less dangerous CO2 emissions than a period property.
The country's houses causes 152 million tonnes of carbon dioxide to seep into the atmosphere every year.
10.Design for modern living*
Our New homes are built to make use of every inch of space.
17% of the living space in older homes goes unused which translates to £34,000 of a £200,000 house going to waste.
New homes meet the demands of modern living and busier lifestyles by maximising space and natural light.
