Is Now a Good Time to Buy a New Home? (The Answer is Yes!)

20 January 2026

A new year, a new you and a new home?

If you’re thinking about buying a new house this year, we know there is no better time than the present. From financial incentives to carefully designed layouts that suit your wants and needs, we’re ready to welcome you to our beautiful developments so you can make 2026 the year that you buy your very own Walton Home.

🏘️ Greater Choice

We offer a wide range of homes from large houses for growing families, starter homes for first-time buyers and spacious bungalows for downsizers, making it effortless to find your perfect home.

Come and visit our friendly sales reps at our developments in Leicestershire and the West Midlands where you’ll be spoilt for choice. We make the buying process as smooth as possible so that you can be inside your new home within a matter of weeks.

💰 Financial Incentives

The Bank of England announced its decision to cut its base rate in December 2025, meaning now is the best time to lock in and get the best mortgage rate as they start to come down.

On top of this, we offer a number of incentives, like assisted move, part exchange and a 10-year structural warranty to give you complete peace of mind and help you take your first step towards owning your brand-new Walton Home.

🔋 Energy Efficient

New build homes are designed with modern living in mind. Built to up-to-date standards, they offer better insulation, efficient heating systems and can incorporate renewable technologies, like solar panels or heat pumps.

This means that when you buy a brand-new home, you’ll notice considerably lower monthly bills compared to older properties, helping you save money on both running and maintenance costs while reducing your environmental impact.

🛠️ Less Maintenance

A new home is ready for you to start living in from day 1 – there is no need to rip up dated carpets, update décor or tear down wallpaper.

Simply enjoy setting up your new home and making your mark on this blank canvas from the day you move in, whether that means shopping for new furniture and décor or just enjoying a new layout. The possibilities are endless when it comes to a Walton Home!

As we welcome in the new year, now has never been a better time to buy a new Walton Home. With mortgage rates falling, attractive incentives, lower running costs and homes designed around modern lifestyles, the benefits of buying a house now can be enjoyed long into the future. So whether you’re looking for your next home, taking your first step on the property ladder or simply exploring, today could mark the first step of an exciting new chapter.
