When you’re thinking about what to ask when buying a house, the council tax band question is more important than you think. Why? Because it impacts the overall cost of your home each year, contributing towards your bills quite significantly. The difference in council tax could even make your decision over buying one contemporary home over another!

For instance, if a more expensive property is council band A (the lowest-costing band), but you’ve gone to view another, slightly cheaper home with a council tax band E, you might gravitate towards the more expensive property because it offers cheaper council tax bills year-round.

This question, as well as the council tax band question, is vital because you can then weigh up how much your bills will cost on average each month/year, based on these different factors and the mortgage cost per month. It’s better to have a clearer understanding of this from the get-go, so remember to ask about the property’s energy rating and note it down during your viewing.

As with the above question, asking the housebuilder who the energy supplier will be for the new build you’ll be buying is key. Because then you can look into the company, and how much energy bills with the said supplier will affect you in the future. And, you might want to switch energy suppliers once you’ve bought your new build home, so this will help you with your search for when your moving day comes around.

Once you’ve found a development you’re interested in, take a look if Show Home is mentioned in the description. Alternatively, please give the sales team a call.

What Our Customers Say...

A company that goes to great lengths to help its customers.

I just wanted to thank the site manager for all his help in getting our kitchen door replaced. He went to great lengths in contacting the supplier and sending photos (twice) to ensure that this replacement door that was a good match.

Excellent customer service!

The site manager came to see me yesterday. Made a note of the outstanding issues and told me he would be in touch today. True to his word he called me first thing and by 11 am he fixed two items and the final item is booked in for next Thursday. This is customer service!

A lovely home that could not be bettered… Family and friends agree.

Any difficulties have been satisfactory resolved, with a special mention for Jackie and the site manager who have been fantastic.

Mr & Mrs Gallacher

Pennyfarthing Homes Homeowner

We are really grateful and very impressed with the care and attention Pennyfarthing Homes has provided at every stage of the process of acquiring the lovely new home Pennyfarthing have built for us. We could not have asked for a nicer experience and you are all to be congratulated.

Mr Leavesley

Pennyfarthing Homes Homeowner

We like the overall combination of building style, quality and layout. The particular property we are in has needed to be done in a sympathetic manner to its surroundings. This we think has been achieved successfully.
The higher than normal ceiling height relative to most new builds has also been very noticeable.
The handover manual supplied with the home is more comprehensive than others we have experienced.

Mr & Mrs Burden

Pennyfarthing Homes Homeowner

Compared to the large national house builders, the specification of Pennyfarthing homes is lovely, my home is designed well, is spacious, has plenty of storage and the site as a whole is really attractive and well located. ‘Home’ is really important to me and I feel very fortunate to have found this one.
