Designing and building a new property requires a lot of preparation and planning. You need to make sure that you know what to add to ensure that you attract the right potential buyers, but also consider logistics, budget and local planning regulations.
With the UK housing market set to stabilise shortly, developers have to make sure that their new properties are desirable to buyers.
This is particularly true of smaller development firms, who are building high-end or niche properties, or who aim to create a small community of houses.
As your audience is smaller and more discerning, and you don’t cater to as many private landlords and property investment firms, you need to make sure that you add the right features and finishing touches to every property you develop.
Here are some home features to consider adding to your next development project to help you attract the right buyers and get the offers you deserve.
Bay Windows And Conservatories
Having been stuck indoors for months during the pandemic, many homeowners craved the outdoors and felt claustrophobic thanks to small windows in their old homes. As such, bay windows and conservatories with plenty of natural light are highly desirable and could set your property apart. Make sure that you consider the view and choose the best location for your large windows so that they are desirable and will look great in promotional pictures for your property.
Outdoor Seating Areas
Modern homeowners love spending time in their gardens and creating a feeling of getting away from it all without actually having to go anywhere. If you’re building a new property and want to give it a high-end finish, then patio awnings are the perfect finishing touch to give your garden a luxury feel. Choose a high-quality patio awning, like the ones available from Nationwide Home Innovations, to really make your new build property stand out and appeal to a wide range of potential buyers.
Kitchen Islands And Breakfast Bars
The kitchen is the heart of the home, so many buyers focus on it when buying a home. Communal areas such as islands and breakfast bars are a great way to make any kitchen feel more spacious and welcoming. These spaces are great for families and homeowners who entertain a lot, so they will appeal to a wide variety of buyers.
Utility Rooms
A utility room might seem like a needless extra that takes space away from actual living space, but it can be a dealbreaker for some home buyers. That’s because many homeowners crave extra space and want to keep their laundry appliances and cleaning materials out of communal areas. Thanks to online influencers making cleaning trendy, many homeowners now own a lot of cleaning supplies and gadgets and want somewhere to store them. A spacious utility room can be the perfect solution for your next property development project.
Designing a new build property takes time, and there are many factors to think about, so not all of these trending features will suit your next development. Use this list to take inspiration for future projects and to enhance the properties that you want to get on the market soon, to improve your chances of getting the quickest sale at the best possible price.
