Why Build New?
Here are 6 practical reasons why building a new home is the way to go
6 Reasons to Build New
1. Customisation
Building a new home allows you to personalise every aspect according to your preferences and needs. From layout and floor plan to materials and finishes, you have the freedom to create a home that truly reflects your style and lifestyle.
Unlike an older house, there’s no need to save and plan for renovation projects to make the space you require. Starting from scratch means you can really think about what your lifestyle is like and create a home that meets those needs.
Jennian Homes have an expansive range of proven home plans that you can customise to suit your exact requirements. Browsing our plans is a great place to start to get an idea of what type of layout you would like.
2. Energy Efficiency
New homes are often built with the latest energy-efficient materials and technologies, which can result in lower utility bills over time. From better insulation to high-efficiency appliances, you can design your home to be environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
Compared to an older home, a new home will require less time and money to maintain; saving you money in the long run.
3. Warranties and Guarantees
With a new home, you typically receive a guarantee on major components such as the roof, appliances, and structural elements. When you build with Jennian Homes, your new home will be backed by a 10-year Master Build guarantee. This gives you peace of mind knowing that you won't have to deal with costly repairs or replacements soon after moving in.
We also offer a 36 Month Defects Warranty which is 24 months MORE than the industry standard of 12 months for your increased protection and peace of mind when building with Jennian homes.
4. Low Maintenance
Building a new home offers the advantage of reduced maintenance, thanks to modern materials and construction techniques specifically designed to minimise wear and tear. New construction often adheres to modern building codes and standards, ensuring higher quality construction compared to older homes.
With less time and money spent on upkeep, you can enjoy greater peace of mind and focus on creating lasting memories in your new home.
At Jennian Homes we are industry leaders in pioneering the focus towards a home that is safer, warmer, healthier, better quality and more comfortable for you now and into the future.
5. Location Flexibility
When you build a new home, you have more flexibility in choosing the location. Whether you prefer a specific neighbourhood, want to be closer to amenities, or desire a larger plot of land, building allows you to find the perfect spot for your dream home.
Additionally, you get to decide where your home is positioned on the section, allowing you to take full advantage of the views and sunlight for your comfort and convenience.

6. Government Incentives for New Builds
The government wants to encourage more new builds and help boost housing stock to address the shortage of housing in NZ. The availability and affordability of new build homes have improved for both property investors and first-home buyers. Compared to an existing property, first-home buyers can receive up to $10,000 through the KiwiSaver Home Start Grant for a new build.
Moreover, a lower deposit is required for a new build, and property investors can benefit from interest deductibility. This initiative is a sensible way to incentivise the construction of new homes to meet the demand for housing and alleviate the housing crisis in NZ.
