Recommended next step

What stands out

• ●New build
• ●Extended time on the market

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.

• Why the property has not sold

  This property has been on the market for an extended period. The listing history is worth discussing with the agent to understand how the sale has progressed and whether anything has changed.

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

This new build presents an opportunity for buyers to customize their living space, as indicated by the choice of colours and finishes available. However, it is essential to verify critical aspects such as warranty coverage, ongoing charges, and the adoption status of communal areas, which are unique considerations for new developments. The absence of certain documentation, including the EPC certificate and floor area, highlights the importance of thorough due diligence to ensure a confident purchase decision.
