I personally wouldn’t get a new build, watching how they are built nowadays the materials, ground prep etc just isn’t as good as the old days.
My dream house would be a detached double fronted 1930’s house with big bay windows ( for the Xmas tree of course) 😍
100% agree!
Definitely a bay for the tree
We live in a 30s semi. Would never buy a new build, too many problems. It’s like a new car, just wait a few years and buy it once all the issues have been ironed out.
Agree 100% would never buy a new build, not great workmanship, cheaply built.
No soul.
I live in a 4 bed semi 50’s built.
Ideal would be a Victorian town house, however in the country which wouldn’t happen 😂
a foreigner like me can’t imagine houses a hundred years old
Being a new build buying through Redrow myself the price the property is does NOT include most of what you saw as most WILL be added extras. For example, the marble worktops are an extra, the electric hob, spotlights, washing machines, tumble dryer, most of all the furniture including wardrobes apart from your main bedroom as this would be included. Flooring will also be an extra unless the developers (Redrow) offer you this an incentive. I hope this helps someone if they are looking
It's decent for a new build.
Conflicted on the price though, can't decide if it's good value or overpriced. Especially since a lot of the fittings like the inbuilt wardrobes are optional extras.
Thus is a really realistic house, I really liked it and definitely think it’s worth the price!
Nah, it's overpriced.
I think this is quite well priced. Rugby is well located for commuting to bigger cities for work.
It’s overpriced
@@deadaccount5 houses are not going to be cheap, this house is definitely worth the price
As a property investor in the uk for 15 years, my advice is no new build is a good investment, this will appreciate a lot slower than older properties, is less robust as built with newer, cheaper materials and will most likely cost a lot more in maintenance after a few years when things start to wear out. Of the 12 properties I purchased and sold, I never once considered new builds or flats as they don’t make sense as an investment and returns would be a lot lower. Your money, your choice but I’m sure if you look into it deeper, it will make sense
How can we learn more King S?
I totally agree.
So true. I’ve heard this said by a builder.
New builds on large developments like this are usually overpriced by 20% to cover the cost of building at least 40% affordable housing on the development. £360k is a more realistic price for that house. Cute house, but better suited as a 3 bedroom. Show homes are packed full of every upgrade possible. The basic house you get for £450K will be so basic in comparison.
Although not a fan of new builds, I do like this - it has a nice layout and gives a cosy feel. I have viewed a Redrow house near my home, and liked that too. They seem to be building more traditional style houses, which have a cosy, slightly old-fashioned, feel to them.
Personally think that's way too expensive for the square footage available, especially downstairs. But nicely decorated as expected from a show home.
Couple of thoughts as a designer, the fridges in these homes are on the wrong side of the ovens. The fridge is used far more than getting into the oven you want that fridge closer to you working area. Also, in the least expensive model in this development the fridge is in that corner right next to the wall and you will not be able to remove shelves and drawers to properly clean it.
One other thing I didn't like in this model was having to go thru the utility room to use the main floor bath. Utility rooms are often messy and cluttered with family and life stuff, more of a private area that you would want to be able to close the door on.
Really did enjoy these home tours, thank you.
I really like the way that this is set up, the kitchen and dining area with a small living area on the side would be ideal for families with kids I think, and then you can keep the main living room as a more formal chill zone
UK new build house designs are so boring, very little architecture flair. Just looks like a brick box with windows
I agree

Where are you from? I’m one of the suckers just purchased one of these lifeless brick boxes ... NVM
Completely agree, the designers of these boxes are out of touch with modern trends HOWEVER these things will sell, so why would they change?
@Jo Jo Good god, you know nothing of the national house building scams that are these new-build estates - let me educate you.
The houses themselves are mirror-image, monoculture boxes with little-to-no style, flair, nor decorative skill required to build them. They are packed together incredibly close with tiny gardens relative to property size, mounded with clay and discarded rubble. Since new housing regulations were imposed only a few years ago, the number of problems reported to housing regulators has skyrocketed (the quality of workmanship has drastically decreased, as well as the unwillingness by developers to fix issues). Many planning proposals on agricultural, floodland, and unsafe land are only accepted because we have a housing shortage, even though there are hundreds of thousands of empty properties across the country - need I remind you solo developers/self builders categorically cannot build on this type of land. On top of all this, the building of these houses has created a tremendous shortfall in high skilled building-related workers (old decorative brickwork, lead-work, and other old building practices are becoming extinct), meaning the overall cost for consumers nation-wide for building work has drastically increased.
The properties themselves are all well-above national/local average prices for homes wherever they’re built. I don’t know where your claims of longevity have come from, house builders don’t even have to provide a warranty for the home (let alone guarantee work for 100+ years).
Some people do just enjoy these houses for what they are, and to that I say is personal choice. But, to tout any new-build by a large developer as a good deal, good quality, or as a better option to houses built
I’m in Worcestershire, and I think a house like this would probably be a similar price! Love the layout of the downstairs, very functional
Yes it would and Bromsgrove
I’m in stourbridge and would be slightly cheaper about 350k
me too price : 299,999
Nice property, I like looking at new builds compared to other houses.
Main bathroom is smaller than the 2 property, don't like the fact the wardrobe and drawers are upgrades, big garden which I like for my kids. office space I would make a loft conversion.. some properties I've seen have conservatories which I like as a bonus when the weather gets warmer.
I would still live in it
can you do some houses in leeds? (my home town) it would be so amazing to see some around here because we might be moving! thanks
I would love you guys to go to see show homes in Nuneaton, Warwickshire because they have a lot of new homes there like bellway, Davidson’s, David Wilson, Taylor Wimpey, Barratt Homes, Cartwright Homes, Redrow and more!!
I've seen this madness in a few new builds i've been in: WHY ARE THE CEILINGS SO LOW, THEN MADE WORSE WITH CHANDELIERS. It's the same in every new build. Ceilings should be a foot higher minimum, or at the very least use recessed spotlights in the ceilings. Matt is smacking his head on the light fixtures, I mean come on for £450k they are such scrooges they don't wanna lay another 3 layers of brick, that's how cheap these thing are.
Love the layout and design, especially the kitchen with the open concept on the first level. I watched the other videos for this development, and this house is my favorite.
This house is so cozy! 🙌🏽
Had two Victorian houses b4 purchasing our first new build in 2017 and we absolutely love it, we are thinking about moving and will only be looking at new builds next. Would love to see more new home tours, there are very few decent ones on CZcams!
Louise Welsh How do you cope with the low ceilings, the thin walls, the bouncy floors that transmit sound from one level to another? What about the undersized windows that mean you need the lights on all day? How does it feel to know your investment won't keep pace with the rest of the housing market- nobody will pay a premium for a ten year old "new build" on an identekit housing estate.
Would love to see Nottingham!
I feel the redrow Cambridge style that was shown earlier looked very spacious and gives me an immediate feel of moving into it right away.
This house surely a bigger one than Redrow Cambridge yet felt very snug..
I would prefer the Redrow Cambridge. Sadly I live in London but I can't get my head turned away from Redrow Cambridge...
I really like new builds generally.
But I HATE how small the gardens generally are.
I thought the garden on that one was really big until I realised it was the garden for the house next door aswell and they just haven't put a dividing fence up yet!
That really sucks.
I did like the ground floor configuration and the more formal lounge room was a decent size. The first floor wasn't as appealing but it looked pretty standard for a new build. Not sure it is worth the asking price given the master suite wardrobes were an upgrade! They really ought to be included in the price. The garden seemed to be a decent size. Even if a conservatory was added it wouldn't affect the space too much.
The fittings, like kitchens, aren't usually included in a new build home price they are extras on top. Expensive really considering it's a new town and there was no previous value to the land.
i really enjoy your vlog .its just fun looking around the house, please will you do south wales.
Can you do some houses in the Cotswolds?💜
I loved that he's using his sleeve to open the doors😍 modern times but safety first👌
Can you do tours in Leeds! Would be good to see. Thanks!
Hello from Texas! The model homes in this development are nice, but seem to be lacking in storage closets and wardrobes in the bedrooms as opposed to our homes in the U.S. Found it interesting also that wardrobes are an upgrade and the kitchen sinks seem kind of small (personally I prefer one large, deep farmhouse style sink.) Another feature that would be nice would be some kind of walk in pantry in the kitchen for additional food and countertop appliance storage. Other than that I'd say the layout of this model is very nice. Thanks for sharing. 😊🏡
They don't do that in the UK UNFORTUNATELY. But it will be nice to have such features. House down here are so small...
You don’t have a pantry in the UK unless you’re posh. No one i know has a pantry
@@emily0071000 looool true
@@evanrubbies1317 this is so true 😭 the UK need to up their game.
Big Patry = Big People 🍔
Totally different houses in America specially in Texas state and cheaper by the way ... advantage: more land, obvious ... bigger country - Downside: Flimsy Wooden and plaster board timber Houses that after decade or so needed full revamped or demolished. They love to do that in America.👍😉
Beautiful house, and has a good price too. Thanks guys for being there.
I really like the layout of downstairs
Lovely house and well priced. Good quality finish.
Wow Matt and Summer really don’t like cold weather, always avoiding the rain and snow 😂
I really like this house. Seems quite spacious inside for UK. I love how they have the L space with the kitchen, dinning and general living area, plus an additional formal lounge. Gives you that extra entertaining space and places to chill.
Мне нравятся ваши ролики, короткие,не затянутые,по теме и без воды.
I need the floor plan of this house🤭 so cozy
Looking forward to buy my first home this year.
Thanks mate, your videos are superawesome.
How about parking/garage?
Love this house especially the family kitchen.
Its a nice house with a very good price I would separate the 2nd lounge from the kitchen area & I would have preferred the main lounge to have been bigger so less space was allocated for the utility room
Nice house.....looks well built and priced right for the location
That garden is massive omg, maybe it just bc I’ve lived in London my whole life😅
It’s normal size 😂
@@leahroberts6015 that’s not a standard size garden 😂
@@leahroberts6015 deff not normal size especially for a new build
To me that is a big garden too!
@@gplummer73 where I live it is
I see alot of radiator heating, is that efficient?
Is there a floor plan available for this house? I would like to see the layout
Love the kitchen diner area!
LOVE THIS!! Spacious. Open space. Nothing cramped. Modern and homely at the same time
Spacious? Nothing cramped? Were you watching a different video?
Youve probably not seen other uk homes in this price range😂
@@urabans124 lol I have, just new builds are depressing .. the gardens also are just for standing in not playing in with children who love to run smh
I’m set to buy this home in Kent which is priced at £520,000 😵 but I love it, beautiful home.
Beautiful house 👍
They have cut corners on the ceiling height on the upstairs floor - the windows should be symmetrical, and they aren't. If you go mid-range appliances - fixtures and fittings you would get more for your money. This is a good layout
This is very nice for a new build! I love your lux tours, however it would be nice to see more tours for this range of price across the UK. Defo more new builds would be handy - as they seem a popular choice for first time buyers
Which is the height of the ceilings?
Feels a bit overpriced for being in the midlands. Definitely show more new builds before heading out of the UK again.
All new builds are over priced
I actually like the layout of the kitchen/den area. Its different but i like that.
Is the roof solar?
Cant wait for Surrey!
Awesome happy new year guys with great success this 2021 love from Italy 🇮🇹
Happy new year! Thank you 🙏🏼 🇮🇹
We bought a Redrow Harrogate 2 years ago in Hertfordshire and paid almost £200k more! If you live in the South of UK that’s what you get.. the standard of Redrow has been very good comparing to my previous new build & 3 of my friends’ new builds in this area. Although dealing with Redrow as a company is an absolute nightmare. Next up I would like a Victorian house with sturdy walls, feature fireplaces and a big garden! 👍
Love how you're careful in covering your hands when using door handles 👍
I thought it was because it’s cold, why does he do it?
@@gmarie3053 I’m pretty sure it was a covid thing at the time 🙂
The windows on the bedroom floor are really low in height. Is that typical in the UK?
the surrounding area is very beautiful. Near towards the end of the video you can see theres an expansive field behind. Love the garden too
One thing I learned after watching so much house tours, properties and architecture reviews, in all over the world. UK houses and buildings seems like obsessed with carpet.
Great video guys, like what your doing. New builds appeal more the older you get I think, less hassle with maintenance etc
Please you say where is it ?
This is a really beautiful place. Matt and Summer a phenomenal pair, legends in their own lifetime 😇. Always look forward to their offerings.
a bit superlative for 2 normals that show you round show homes isn't it?
I like the way they laid our the downstairs with both open plan living and a formal sitting room. 450 seemed cheap, I’m in the east mids and new builds in the Northampton area like that were similarly priced 20 years ago.
Really nice home and it’s been beautifully decorated . I was expecting a study/garage? For me personally that would potentially justify the asking price.
Yes definitely
This is so beautiful! Wow! 🤩🤩✨
I prefer new builds, only detached ones. It’s a blank canvas .. which has given us the opportunity to add in all the features we want without the expense of solid walls. People are always wowed with what has been achieved compared to others.
Summer está movendo a câmara muito rápido
I live in a redrow home and have done for 21 years. I’d love to have a new one one day
I live in the Redrow houses down south newly built last year, and that same house is 200k more! It’s amazing how much the prices change depending on location
I know right, if that was in my town it would probably be between 7-£900 thousand
The little lounge area in the kitchen makes this house for me!
Opposite for me. Seems like a duplication of rooms, I’d prefer just one living room and more kitchen surfaces
I think that space would be better as a separate study, with a door from the hallway (next the the front door and opposite the lounge door) and a wall to the kitchen.
Love this! More house tours...and next time you go Bali don't forget my stick o rock!!!👨🦼💨💨💨
More on the way and lol didn't see any when we were there!
Interesting that wardrobes are considered upgrades. In the US, a room cannot be legally called a bedroom if there is no closet (aka wardrobe).
Beautiful

You are currently paying 10% new build premium in the UK which if prices do not continue to rise will be extinguished as soon as the property is purchased. I value property for a living as a Chartered Surveyor. People like new because it gives them peace of mind, but it always feels to me like they are following the crowd. Buy one 5-10 years old if it is your thing and all the issues should have been solved (mainly plumbing) if you buy one that has been looked after.
Bedrooms size too small and ceiling too low. But ground floor L-shape design is good. No study downstairs. And garage? Ideal price range: 350k-400k
Redrow homes seem very same to same - my daughter and son in law bought one and lots of stipulations what you can and can’t do on these modern estates even though it’s your house!
If compare to the flats in HK, these houses are paradise! Normally the flats around 700 sq ft in HK cost around 1million pounds! But of can’t compare like this because HK limited lands n a metropolitan city financial center more or less like London zone one
Garden, you get what you pay for? I paid 500k in the East Sussex and my garden is not even half. 🙈
Really enjoyed this. I only live in new builds, mostly because they are warm and well insulated and I’m originally from the Caribbean so I can’t stand a cold house.
It's beautiful
And it was lovely inside I know if I like a house as soon as I see it and JONES HOMES dint get mentioned they built the Harland's and the Highlands on edge lane stretford they're beautiful they're for old dears but they're like hotels or American apartments the hall has built in wardrobe units all with full length mirrors it made the hall look bigger and gave more light plus it's got a communal lounge lovely and homely with a big fire place the only thing I hated about it was the water pressure I had to put the kettle under the tap or a jug to get water it trickled I reported it to the warden and maintence but they said it's the way it is for everyone
I like it I wouldnt say no x
Can you do some houses in Banbury
And where’s parking spot?
Can you do Margate plz
Nicely designed new build...not sure the smaller room had room for the wardrobe
It's a small nice house ... l love it
Hi Matt and Summer , love watching your videos , would further love to see if you could cover Bournemouth, Dorset area properties in the same price of 300~600
I think this house is really good value for money
New builds in Maidstone Bearsted please. Lots going up in that area.
Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll check it out!
Lovely New Builds in Hempstead Valley, Kent. Only 4 and 5 bedroom detached.
How many sqft?
A house like that in my area it will be 589,000
UK is almost synonymous with tight spaces.
Is this property ready to move in or still need to reserve
I believe you need to reserve
Nicei video.
Very interesting and well put together 👍👍👍🎉
Can you please visit Bristol 😊
The wardrobe is an optional extra because these housing companies work with other companies to create fitted wardrobes. Parents house was the same had funny shapes so standard wardrobes either didn’t fit or looked funny so they ended up buying fitted
