What Should Be in Every New Home and Why

Can you imagine buying a new car without seatbelts? They just aren’t available because certain features are demanded, by law and by consumers, as essential in every new car. So, what should be demanded as essential in a new home?

New homes should be:

• Efficient – They should use energy sparingly and wisely.
• Attractive – They should have the features that give you pride as a homeowner.
• Comfortable – They should give you complete control over temperature, humidity and air quality.
• Long Lasting – They should last 100 years or more.
• Pest Resistant – They should use materials and methods that inhibit rodents and insects.
• Easy to Maintain – They should not require excessive time or money in upkeep.
• Environmentally Friendly to Build – They should not create excessive waste or environmental disruption during construction.
• Safe – They should be fire resistant, mold resistant and not create harmful off-gasses.

Over the next few weeks we’ll be publishing some key features that you should look for when deciding on which new home to purchase.
