It’s probably one of the best reasons for buying a brand-new home: the fact your new-build is a blank canvas. You won’t need to stress about removing awful wallpaper, there’s no need to knock down decades-old timber structures in the garden, and you won’t have to go to the expense of a full property rewire. Plus, everything is new! Yes, when it comes to a new-build home, you’re starting from a completely brand-new, clean slate.
