Buying a new-build home is exciting, but it’s also one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. The right developer won’t just hand over a set of keys; they’ll deliver the quality, service, and peace of mind you need for the years ahead.
So, how do you know you’re choosing wisely? Here’s what to look for when comparing new-build developers.
1. Check the Track Record
A strong history speaks volumes. Look for developers with completed projects you can see for yourself. If possible, visit finished homes, talk to past buyers, and check online reviews. Consistently high standards, thoughtful design, and attention to detail show a developer who takes pride in every build.
At Orion Homes, we’ve been creating high-quality communities across Yorkshire for over 45 years, with a reputation built on trust and reliability.
2. Look for Clear Costs & Honest Updates
Buying a home should never feel like guesswork. The right developer will be upfront about pricing, timelines, and what’s included, no hidden surprises.
At Orion Homes, transparency is at the heart of everything we do. From the first enquiry to the day you move in, we keep you informed and in control.
3. Choose Buyer-Focused Support
You’re not just buying bricks and mortar, you’re investing in your future lifestyle. A developer who puts you first will offer guidance, answer questions quickly, and make the process feel smoother.
Our friendly sales teams are always on hand to help, whether it’s recommending trusted solicitors or explaining the next steps in plain English.
4. Ask About Warranty & Aftercare
Even the best new homes sometimes need tweaks after you move in. A comprehensive warranty and responsive aftercare service give you reassurance that help is there when you need it.
With Orion Homes, you’re covered by a 10 year warranty, and our dedicated aftercare team is ready to resolve any issues.
5. Prioritise Design & Sustainability
Today’s buyers want energy efficiency, modern layouts, and stylish finishes. Ask how the homes are designed to save you money and provide everyday comfort.
We build with sustainability in mind, ensuring our homes are comfortable, efficient, and ready for modern living.
6. Check Reputation & Credentials
Industry accreditations and awards are trust signals. Membership with organisations like the NHBC, ICW or the Considerate Constructors Scheme shows a commitment to quality and accountability.
Orion Homes is proud to meet the highest standards, backed by respected industry bodies and decades of experience.
