Move into a home with brand-new finishes, fixtures, and spaces designed around modern living.

Discover the advantages of buying new with Duchy Homes and find out how we can help you feel at home from day one.
Move into a home with brand-new finishes, fixtures, and spaces designed around modern living.
Thoughtful specifications and up-to-date building standards provide a strong starting point.
Customer Care, planned visits, and a new-home warranty help you settle in with confidence.
From the moment you choose your home to the day you receive your keys and beyond, there are plenty of reasons to make your next move a new one.
A home that feels considered from the start. Carefully selected kitchens, bathrooms, finishes, and fittings give you a place to settle into without planning a major refurbishment. Specifications vary between homes.
New fixtures, fittings, and building systems mean fewer inherited repairs and less immediate renovation work than you may face with an older property. As with any home, regular upkeep is still important.
Modern insulation, glazing, and heating systems can help reduce wasted energy and make a home more comfortable. Actual running costs will depend on the home and how it is used.
Modern construction standards and considered security features help create a reassuring place to live. Your Sales Executive can confirm the exact doors, locks, lighting, and safety features in your chosen home.
Depending on the build stage, you may be able to select kitchen finishes, tiles, flooring, and other options or upgrades before you move in. Choices and prices are specific to each home.
From welcoming kitchens and sociable living spaces to practical storage and flexible rooms, our house types are designed around the way people live today. Layouts and features differ by design.
There is no onward seller in the new-home purchase itself, which can make one part of the chain simpler. If you have a property to sell, ask about Move Assist or other available support.
You have access to our Customer Care team after moving in, alongside the new-home warranty for your development. We also help you settle in with planned Site Manager visits.

Modern insulation, double glazing, and efficient heating can help new homes hold onto warmth and use less energy. It's a benefit you may notice in comfort as well as running costs.
The energy performance of each home is set out in its Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and actual household bills will vary depending on occupancy, energy prices, and personal use.

Your purchase is the start of your time with Duchy Homes, not the end. Here is some of the support and protection that comes with buying new.
Our Customer Care team is available to help with post-completion queries and issues during the builder's initial warranty period.
Our developments use NHBC or Premier Guarantee warranty arrangements. Cover, exclusions, and claims processes depend on the provider and individual policy.
Your Site Manager visits around day 7 to identify outstanding snags, then around day 28 to check progress on those identified items.
Following reservation, myDuchy gives you access to build-stage updates, important documents, home information, and relevant contact details.
Warranty cover and obligations are governed by the policy documents for your specific home. Your Sales Executive can confirm the applicable provider and details.
Newly built homes generally achieve higher EPC scores than existing properties, but every home is different. We can confirm the EPC information for the home you're considering. Your bills will depend on your energy tariff, household, and how you use the home.
Depending on the build stage and the options available for your chosen home, you may be able to select finishes or purchase upgrades before construction reaches the relevant stage. Your Sales Executive can confirm what's included, any additional costs, and when decisions need to be made.
Duchy Homes uses NHBC or Premier Guarantee on different developments. These arrangements generally provide an initial 2-year builder warranty period and protection against certain structural issues for the remainder of the 10-year term, subject to the individual policy. Check the warranty documentation for the home you're buying.
There is no onward seller above the new home, which can remove one complication. However, if you need to sell your current property, your own buyer and their chain still matter. You'll need to be in a proceedable position before reserving; our Sales team can explain your options.
Our Site Manager's 7-day visit is designed to identify outstanding snags, and the 28-day follow-up checks the progress of those items. You can also contact Customer Care by phone, email, or the form on our website. The applicable warranty and aftercare guidance explains how issues are handled.
