Modern homes FAQs
What makes a house a modern property?
The architectural style is a key giveaway in a modern property.
Contemporary homes tend to be designed with simple, clean lines and multifunctional, open-plan spaces to let in loads of light, alongside plenty of storage options to keep them clutter-free.
They are also eco-friendly, often with an EPC rating of A and B, thanks to modern boilers, A+-rated appliances and great insulation.
Modern homes also tend to feature the latest smart home technology, enabling you to control temperature and lighting - and even warm the oven - via apps on your phone.
Are modern homes energy efficient?
Yes, modern homes are much more energy efficient than their more traditional counterparts.
Research released by the Home Builders Federation reveals new-build home owners can save up to £1,685 a year on their energy bills.
Because they're built with great insulation, double or triple glazing, and feature the latest A+ rated boilers and appliances, the savings on energy use are significant.

Do modern houses have higher resale value?
With all homes, a property's resale value will depend on its size, location, proximity to amenities and general desirability in the area.
New homes often come with a 'new-build premium', because everything in the property is sparkling brand new to you.
So, like when you drive a brand new car from the garage forecourt, there may be a small drop in value initially.
That said, as long as you plan to live in your home for a few years before selling it, new-build homes tend to follow the wider housing market when it comes to capital growth.
What's good about a modern property?
Modern homes are designed to be flexible and adaptable to the needs of homeowners.
With open-plan designs, large windows and light, airy spaces, they are also designed to promote health and wellbeing, through plenty of natural light, air filtration systems and in some cases, indoor gardens and living walls.
Clean lines, concrete, steel and glass are the building blocks of modern homes and this can create a fresh, crisp design aesthetic.
Coupled with excellent storage solutions, modern homes enable a spacious and airy, clutter-free way of living.
