What you really need to know but are never told...
Show Homes
Clearly, house builders use show houses to sell their new homes prior to them being built. However, this can be very misleading as developers spend an awful lot of money on their
display
homes and many new home owners can be extremely disappointed that their new house pales into insignificance in comparison. This is mainly due to the fact that talented interior designers are show the home to it’s best advantage.
When you visit a show house look out for the following...
the internal doors will often be removed to create the feeling of space.
all the lights will be on to create the feeling of plenty of light.
bedroom furniture is kept to a minimum with single beds and bedside table and these can be of smaller proportion than normal.
the fittings are often of better quality than those used in the standard specification.
glass furniture and mirrors are used to great effect to create the feeling of space.
the garden will be landscaped and normally completed to a far higher specification than the standard basic turf provided.
When buying a new house make sure that you...
check what the specification is of the house that you are buying and
how it compares to the show house.
have the detailed plans of your new house made available so you
can check that your furniture will fit into the rooms.
ask to be shown a plan of a similar style of house to view, if the house is different from the show house.
