Whether it’s a box-fresh pair of trainers or a handbag, there’s nothing quite like being the first person to own something brand new.

A new-build property is a popular option for many overseas buyers with contemporary design, energy-efficient services, a clean finish and key-ready for an owner to make their individual mark and turn a house into a home.

New-build properties can be slightly more expensive than a resale but generally come with warranties in place and no need to allocate budget to update fixtures and fittings. We profile a number of developments below with the option for you to get in touch directly with the agent or developer if you are interested in finding out more.
