Be Confident in your Choice
With Deanfield Homes you can be confident in your decision to purchase a brand new home. Our homes come with a 10-year NHBC warranty, giving you the reassurance that your home has been constructed to stringent quality standards, and providing cover against structural defects. At each step of the purchasing process you will be kept fully informed and given the opportunity to ask questions.
Reserving your new home
Once you have found the right home for you, you will enter a reservation agreement which details the reservation fee and an agreed date by which exchange of contracts must take place. We know circumstances change and you can reserve your new home with the reassurance of a 14-day cooling off period, within which you may cancel the agreement and receive a full refund of the reservation fee.
Before you exchange contracts
Prior to exchange of contracts, you will be invited to an Information Giving Meeting to enable the sales and construction teams to fully explain the benefits of the development and your chosen home. This will also be your opportunity to ask any questions you may have prior to committing to your purchase.
Before completion
After exchange of contracts and approximately one week prior to your completion date, you will be invited to visit and view your home in its virtually complete condition. You have the option to appoint a qualified inspector to undertake the visit on your behalf, at your cost, if you prefer.
During this visit, a home demonstration will also be undertaken, where details of how to look after your new home, including how to maintain the heating and electrical equipment, will be explained.
After completion
Our dedicated Customer Service team are on hand to provide you with peace of mind for two years after you move in and the NHBC warranty is valid for 10 years from exchange of contracts.
Your new home benefits from a 10-year NHBC warranty which is valid from completion.
