London. Since its establishment in 1999 RPC has become one of the most
respected agents in the residential development land market offering a

contact one of our Regional Offices and one of our land team will be pleased
to provide an initial assessment of the development potential, anticipated value
and the most appropriate route to ensure you achieve the best outcome.

A BRAND NEW HOME – SURELY IT’S THE BEST OPTIONFor many prospective homebuyers, the financial incentives offered by new
homes builders have made the choice between a resale home and a brand new
home a lot easier. With constant tales of home improvements turning into
mishaps, the chance to improve your home doesn’t quite compare to the
prospect of owning something hassle free and brand new.
DIY disasters ranging from the absurd to the serious now encourage buyers to
look towards a new build home. New homes offer many more advantages that
are simply not available in a resale property. For homeowners, the superiority
of a new home translates into benefits that purchasers cannot even begin to
imagine. The prospect of a well-designed development, a comprehensive warranty
and internal layouts designed to accommodate a range of choices does nothing
but encourage new home sales. In addition, with the current incentives in offer,
now is the time to buy a new home.
There are many things to consider when buying a home but when purchasing
a brand new home the list can be seriously reduced.

Sue Taylor, New Homes Director explains:“ When you purchase a second hand home there are number of
factors that can seriously affect your decision to buy. One has to
consider the previous occupants’ tastes in interior design, the
decorative repair of the home and the state of the kitchen and
bathrooms. With a new home however, it is an aesthetically blank
canvas, featuring contemporary kitchens and bathrooms, and are more energy
efficient to run than second hand homes”
