It’s a blank canvas

As the first owner of your brand new Muir Homes property, your new home will be your very own blank canvas. With our neutral interiors and your choice of contemporary finish, you will be able to create the unique space you’ve always dreamed of. 

Taking advantage of the neutrality, you can envision your interior design priorities as soon as you see the finished property; there will be no need to look past conflicting designs from those who lived in the space before, as you will be the first person to make the house a home. 

Well-protected with our warranty

At Muir Homes, each of our properties comes with a ten-year warranty and resolution service from the National House Building Council (NHBC). This warranty affords you the peace of mind that, throughout the purchase process and in the years to come, this house becomes home.

Alongside our warranty, our homes are built with modern security sensibilities in mind. Our build quality ensures that you won’t have to worry about the electrical or plumbing systems within the home, as they are built with up-to-date components and standards, making sure your home continues to be a positive, stress-free place to live. 

You’re the first person in your dream home

Along with the benefits of a clean, untouched interior, you will have no upkeep from previous inhabitants. When you move in, your home will be in the perfect condition to unpack your belongings and begin living in your new space. 

Additionally, with a new build property, you won’t have to worry about a property chain. You won’t need to wait for the selling previous owner to find a new property or deal with issues that may arise during the buying process for them. You’ll be able to move into your new home with no delays or complications as soon as it is ready.

This low-maintenance moving experience helps reduce the pressure of an already stressful time that moving can be and gives you peace of mind your home is in top condition. 

Your purchase can be more affordable

If you are a first-time buyer, you have the opportunity to save on your first home through the New Supply Shared Equity Scheme. Under the NSSE scheme, the Scottish Government provides an equity stake of up to 40% of the purchase price, which the buyer can pay back when they sell the property or after 25 years. This means that buyers only need to provide a deposit of 5% of the purchase price, making it easier for them to get on the property ladder.
