30,000 reasons to buy in Barnstaple

Research by a leading housebuilder suggests it can cost around £30,000 to bring an older property up to the same standard as a new home.

Redrow Homes has calculated the significant figure after totalling up the cost of installing equivalent standard kitchens, appliances and bathrooms as well as a new energy efficient heating system, replacement windows and a host of other features which come as standard in a new home.

Hannah Newnes, area sales manager for Redrow Home (South West), said: “By purchasing a new home instead of an older second hand property, buyers could save themselves a small fortune in DIY costs not to mention time and energy.

“Buying a new home from Redrow means that everything is brand new; you can start living straight away and don’t need to spend money or time on redecorating and repairing your home.
