There are no worries about extra expense for items such as rewiring, new windows or guttering. Brand new homes are built to the highest technical standards and incorporate the very latest design in house style, fixtures and fittings. You'll find ample work surfaces, plenty of storage space and power points. Many family homes have more than one bathroom and most are fitted with a built-in shower. And there are no redecoration or refurbishment costs because you usually have a choice of color schemes, fixtures and fittings.
Smoke detectors are standard.
The wiring is rigorously tested and electrical circuit breakers are fitted. Brand new homes are designed to deter intruders. All Windward homes are security wired with the 'Secured by Design' logo. When you add up the costs of modernising an older home, you'll find that it could cost you a lot more than the asking price. And once you move in to your brand new home you'll find it cheaper to run and virtually maintenance free.
