What is a new build property?
A new-build property is a property that’s brand new and never been lived in. Some homes may be listed as ‘new build’ as they have been built fairly recently, however if they have been owned or lived in then this is not the case.
These can include properties for social rent, affordable rent, outright sale, shared ownership, rent to buy and help to buy homes.
