The Details That Decide Outcomes
Buying new-build changes the process: developer deadlines (often 28 days to exchange), incentives that lenders may deduct from the valuation, and the need for extended offer validity. Tell your broker it's new-build on day one.
Post-2023 affordability testing is stricter than many buyers expect. Lenders now stress-test your payments at a rate above your actual deal, and regular commitments — car finance, childcare, even subscriptions — reduce the maximum loan. Trimming commitments 3 months before applying genuinely increases what you can borrow.

Expect £1,500–£3,500 covering valuation, legal work, searches and any lender arrangement fee. First-time buyers get stamp duty relief on lower-priced homes.
Most offers are valid for 3–6 months. New-build purchases often get extended validity because completion dates slip.
