Recommended next step

What stands out

• ●New build
• ●Semi-detached

Worth checking

• Warranty cover, ongoing charges, and whether the road has been adopted

  New-build purchases involve verification points that don't arise with an established property — including structural warranty cover, any management or service charges, and whether the access road and communal areas have been adopted by the council.

What to prepare for

• Ask the developer or agent for the warranty documentation, a full specification list, and details of any management or service charges.

  New-build purchases involve considerations — specification inclusions, warranty cover, and ongoing charges — that don't arise with an established property.

What we couldn’t verify

• Land & Property Services valuation and rates assessment

  New-build and off-plan properties often do not yet have an LPS Capital Value or rates assessment — this is expected before a property is fully registered, not a gap in ClearKey's records.

Assessment

As a new build, this semi-detached property presents an opportunity for buyers to enjoy modern living without the concerns often associated with older homes. However, it is essential to verify key details such as warranty coverage, service charges, and the status of communal areas, which are unique to new developments. The absence of certain records, like the EPC certificate and floor area, highlights the importance of thorough due diligence to ensure a confident purchase decision.
