Why buy new?
Buying a new home offers many benefits against buying an older property. Here’s a little more detail about some of the benefits when you choose a new Gleeson home.
There’s nothing ordinary about a new Gleeson home.
Moving into a brand new home is a very special experience as you’ll be the first person to move into a house that you can make into your home.
There's so many ways that you can personalise your new home from the moment we start to build it for you. You can choose from a beautiful range of kitchens* and optional upgrades, including bathrooms, appliances, carpets, flooring and tiling. Your home, your way.
From interior design features to more practical options such as alarm systems, garden fencing and additional power points, there’s plenty to choose from.

Enjoy lower energy bills
New build homes are known to be far more energy efficient than their older counterparts. All Gleeson homes are built using modern construction methods, with a new boiler or air source heat pump technology, and modern insulation materials. All this combined ensures our homes are far more efficient than a second-hand home, meaning you will ultimately save money on your running costs.
According to latest figures published by the HBF (House Builders Federation) in the report titled ‘Watt a Save', buyers of new build properties will save an average of £2,200 a year on their energy bills, compared to buyers of older properties. What’s not to like about that?
This creates a better structure for keeping heat in, ensuring you’re cosy and warm when it’s cold outside and at the same time helping to keep your energy bills low which is important to us all!
Peace of mind comes as standard
We’re committed to building quality, affordable homes and delivering an exceptional service from the moment you meet us. The NHBC carry out key stage inspections throughout the build process alongside our internal inspection processes, to ensure quality is exactly as it should be before key release.
Our commitment to quality and service doesn’t stop once we hand over your keys. You’ll receive a two-year Gleeson warranty, backed by the NHBC, plus a further eight years of insurance cover from the NHBC to give you absolute peace of mind and comfort right from the moment you move in.
In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, or you’re not completely satisfied, your warranty ensures you’re protected. Now, that’s something you wouldn’t get when buying a second-hand home!
Your new home is a blank canvas ready for you to add your personal touches
We often hear from customers how excited they are to personalise their new Gleeson home. This is one of the many benefits you’ll see when you choose a new Gleeson home, the ability to really make it your own.
So, there’s no need to worry about renovating or taking on home improvement projects because everything is new. You’ll move into your new Gleeson home, freshly painted and ready for you to stamp your own style on and create your perfect home!
With a new home, there's no forward chain
We all know that purchasing a new home can be stressful, and more so when there are forward chains involved. This can often lead to delays and complications. So, when you decide to buy a new Gleeson home, you’ll be safe in the knowledge that there is no forward chain, it’s just you.
As soon as your new home is completed and ready to move into, we’ll get you moving as quickly as possible. Don’t forget, your Gleeson Sales Executive will be there to help you every step of the way too!
A helping hand
When buying a home with Gleeson, there are lots of helpful schemes to make homeownership even easier to achieve.
Whether you're a first-time buyer or an existing homeowner, we have a scheme for you!
In addition, we also have some fantastic offers to give you even better value.
At Gleeson, we build communities
Not only will you be benefitting from a new home, you’ll also benefit from becoming part of a new community.
Between 2020 and 2021, nearly 60% of our customers already lived within five miles of their chosen development, meaning we’re building homes for local people.
And, with Gleeson you can gain independence, and take that next step towards your future but still enjoy those home comforts that come with knowing your area and the community.
In addition, we understand the importance of involving the community before and during the construction of your home, so that’s why we employ local labour and use local suppliers. Meaning when you buy with us, you’re also supporting your local community and are helping to create local jobs for local people.
“I’ve met some wonderful neighbours since moving in and this particular location is close to lots of woods and forest walks, which I have yet to explore. My stress levels are minimal and the air, ambience and vibe of this community are second to none, including the Sales and Build team working on the site!”
