New build homes: Bristol’s 10 highest rated

Is a new build home in Bristol a good buy and, if so, where should you start looking? From its Georgian streets and historic landmarks to its amazing art scene and unique cultural identity, Bristol is a thriving West Country hub that attracts students and families alike. It’s also one of the safest cities in the UK, and with rolling hills and AONB countryside on its doorstep, a rural adventure is never far away. So it’s not surprising then that the city plays host to a wide range of new build homes and developments.

Are Bristol’s new build homes a good investment?

While character properties have their charm, new builds are ready to live in, often more energy-efficient, and easier to maintain. If you don’t fancy tackling a long list of expensive jobs, a new house is an attractive prospect. This is especially true when it is sold with a decent developer’s warranty that will cover any teething problems.

Double points for buying in an area with a booming local economy and housing market – somewhere just like Bristol, in fact. Home to high net-worth industries and a cutting-edge tech scene, it’s no wonder house prices may grow by 20.5 per cent between 2021 and 2024. Thanks to this rapid expansion, the city is becoming an increasingly popular choice for home hunters and investors.

Is Bristol expensive to live in?
