Being a new build buying through Redrow myself the price the property is does NOT include most of what you saw as most WILL be added extras. For example, the marble worktops are an extra, the electric hob, spotlights, washing machines, tumble dryer, most of all the furniture including wardrobes apart from your main bedroom as this would be included. Flooring will also be an extra unless the developers (Redrow) offer you this an incentive. I hope this helps someone if they are looking
I’m in Worcestershire, and I think a house like this would probably be a similar price! Love the layout of the downstairs, very functional
Yes it would and Bromsgrove
I’m in stourbridge and would be slightly cheaper about 350k
me too price : 299,999
can you do some houses in leeds? (my home town) it would be so amazing to see some around here because we might be moving! thanks
UK new build house designs are so boring, very little architecture flair. Just looks like a brick box with windows
I agree

Where are you from? I’m one of the suckers just purchased one of these lifeless brick boxes ... NVM
Completely agree, the designers of these boxes are out of touch with modern trends HOWEVER these things will sell, so why would they change?
@Jo Jo Good god, you know nothing of the national house building scams that are these new-build estates - let me educate you.
The houses themselves are mirror-image, monoculture boxes with little-to-no style, flair, nor decorative skill required to build them. They are packed together incredibly close with tiny gardens relative to property size, mounded with clay and discarded rubble. Since new housing regulations were imposed only a few years ago, the number of problems reported to housing regulators has skyrocketed (the quality of workmanship has drastically decreased, as well as the unwillingness by developers to fix issues). Many planning proposals on agricultural, floodland, and unsafe land are only accepted because we have a housing shortage, even though there are hundreds of thousands of empty properties across the country - need I remind you solo developers/self builders categorically cannot build on this type of land. On top of all this, the building of these houses has created a tremendous shortfall in high skilled building-related workers (old decorative brickwork, lead-work, and other old building practices are becoming extinct), meaning the overall cost for consumers nation-wide for building work has drastically increased.
The properties themselves are all well-above national/local average prices for homes wherever they’re built. I don’t know where your claims of longevity have come from, house builders don’t even have to provide a warranty for the home (let alone guarantee work for 100+ years).
Some people do just enjoy these houses for what they are, and to that I say is personal choice. But, to tout any new-build by a large developer as a good deal, good quality, or as a better option to houses built
I did like the ground floor configuration and the more formal lounge room was a decent size. The first floor wasn't as appealing but it looked pretty standard for a new build. Not sure it is worth the asking price given the master suite wardrobes were an upgrade! They really ought to be included in the price. The garden seemed to be a decent size. Even if a conservatory was added it wouldn't affect the space too much.
Wow Matt and Summer really don’t like cold weather, always avoiding the rain and snow 😂
Feels a bit overpriced for being in the midlands. Definitely show more new builds before heading out of the UK again.
All new builds are over priced
They have cut corners on the ceiling height on the upstairs floor - the windows should be symmetrical, and they aren't. If you go mid-range appliances - fixtures and fittings you would get more for your money. This is a good layout
One thing I learned after watching so much house tours, properties and architecture reviews, in all over the world. UK houses and buildings seems like obsessed with carpet.
Really nice home and it’s been beautifully decorated . I was expecting a study/garage? For me personally that would potentially justify the asking price.
Yes definitely
Love the layout and design, especially the kitchen with the open concept on the first level. I watched the other videos for this development, and this house is my favorite.
And where’s parking spot?
i really enjoy your vlog .its just fun looking around the house, please will you do south wales.
I like this style of presentation, pretty much how you would do it yourself.
Redrow homes seem very same to same - my daughter and son in law bought one and lots of stipulations what you can and can’t do on these modern estates even though it’s your house!
I prefer new builds, only detached ones. It’s a blank canvas .. which has given us the opportunity to add in all the features we want without the expense of solid walls. People are always wowed with what has been achieved compared to others.
Beautiful house, and has a good price too. Thanks guys for being there.
Looking forward to buy my first home this year.
Thanks mate, your videos are superawesome.
Interesting that wardrobes are considered upgrades. In the US, a room cannot be legally called a bedroom if there is no closet (aka wardrobe).
The little lounge area in the kitchen makes this house for me!
Opposite for me. Seems like a duplication of rooms, I’d prefer just one living room and more kitchen surfaces
I think that space would be better as a separate study, with a door from the hallway (next the the front door and opposite the lounge door) and a wall to the kitchen.
Really enjoyed this. I only live in new builds, mostly because they are warm and well insulated and I’m originally from the Caribbean so I can’t stand a cold house.
Love this house especially the family kitchen.
Which is the height of the ceilings?
Beautiful house 👍
And it was lovely inside I know if I like a house as soon as I see it and JONES HOMES dint get mentioned they built the Harland's and the Highlands on edge lane stretford they're beautiful they're for old dears but they're like hotels or American apartments the hall has built in wardrobe units all with full length mirrors it made the hall look bigger and gave more light plus it's got a communal lounge lovely and homely with a big fire place the only thing I hated about it was the water pressure I had to put the kettle under the tap or a jug to get water it trickled I reported it to the warden and maintence but they said it's the way it is for everyone
Is this property ready to move in or still need to reserve
I believe you need to reserve
Cant wait for Surrey!
Nicely designed new build...not sure the smaller room had room for the wardrobe
A house like that in my area it will be 589,000
Awesome happy new year guys with great success this 2021 love from Italy 🇮🇹
Happy new year! Thank you 🙏🏼 🇮🇹
Can you do Margate plz
Family home is Victorian property built in 1890 & still going strong. I just don't think New Build properties can stand test of time and will age badly
Omg whattttttt a house like that in the part of England I live would be like 800,000 at least most likely more
Edit I’m in shock how cheap it is, and that garden is massive, this has got to be in the midlands or the north you wouldn’t find that much for so cheap in the area of England I live
Love the kitchen diner area!
This is so beautiful! Wow! 🤩🤩✨
Could you do a 5 bedroom house for about 400,000
New builds are really nice , but can be over priced on my experience - my biggest issue is that new builds are usually set amongst loads of other new builds and it can feel over crowded .
Redrow homes always delivers well sometimes 🤣 depending on the model. I love this one
Couple of suggestions regarding filming. Depending on your camera setup, if image stabilisation is an option (some lenses have IS built in), it would help, and slow down when panning. The footage of the bedrooms was enough to start my head spinning when I was watching it. Steady and even does the trick.
Thanks Sean, appreciate the tips, ill check if stabilisation is on. We normally use a a gimbal stabiliser however our batteries unfortunately ran out for this video.
@@TheLuxuryHomeShow aha, makes sense. Thought your previous videos had been smoother. Can never have too many batteries. Back when I was doing photoshoots, always had stacks of batteries in plastic cases, each holds 4 x AA for example. Cheap and really handy way of never running out. For custom rechargeables, not so easy.
Have your teeth stopped chattering yet being back in the UK? Bit of a shocker coming from somewhere tropical to wintry UK.
Happy new year and hope 2021 is all you wish for.
Beautiful 🏠
Finally you guys are back to reviewing properties, I missed this not gonna lie being that I’m based in the U.K. I subscribed because I’m looking to buy a house in the U.K. and wanted to see the options here in the U.K. and I though you guys provided that raw viewing so welcome back
The master bedroom reminds me of a hotel layout
Beautiful
It's beautiful
I like it, not a huge ammount of character but it's smart, good value for money compared to Essex where I live
Ebbsfleet Valley in Kent would be a good place to review. It has a lot of new builds and it’s a “new city”.
Thanks for recommendation, we'll check it out
All the new houses are built like LEGOS.
Lmao yes
It's nice
Yes please for new houses
More on the way 🏠
I love it! Its nice and i love the kitchen.
Nice house.
The brickwork is very patchy. The radiators are under sized. The living room is too small.
make some more tours around this price
Morris homes need to sort the road out where I live. Apparently they have gone into liquidation. Scumbags
New builds all have 8ft ceiling height. But the upstairs damn bro your head nearly hit ceiling. Are they 6.5ft ceilings?!
More houses in Beaconfield please.
You wouldn’t get that house for £450k in Harrogate😂, how ironic
I bet the bedroom walls are all paper thin, all looked small
Do you get fined for touching door handles bear handed?
Haha no just being respectful for others!
Standard new build to be honest. I do think these are value though as house prices are rising and working in London / Cities are going to be less important in the future so maybe a nice house in Rugby is the way to go.
Looks very decent.
Your hair is almost touching the ceiling in the rooms.
The kitchen is very nice. Shared outdoor area?
Please can you review a new build property made by Shanly Homes?
Love it, it's so beautiful.
This is a steal!
This is similar to regular houses in São Paulo for people who are medium class income in size and setting, aside the garage we prefer with a roof mostly and closed with a gate due to security which’s unfortunately poorer than there and also for privacy. In the backyard we usually cement it or don’t have it. Large Backyards that requires some sort of maintenance are from rich people who can have someone to look after it. Mostly having a view being in a better neighborhood and having good security, more parking spaces or a pool or a nice backyard and barbecue area with tables and the built place to grill the meat are considered assets. We usually don’t have a walk in closet. You can see that in rich houses. If a mother was to choose between a family area or her closet the family area would be done. For a house like that in SP they’d charge around 1 million in a regular neighborhood. I think in a poorer area it’d be around 300 thousand and in a rich area I think it’d be 2-3 million reais, maybe a little more. In an apartment of 45square feet in a upper medium income quite rich with only one bedroom and no parking spaces and no view or anything special they rent it for 3000 a month plus taxes.
I am brazilian and I’d look for something like that in a house in terms of space and separation from service area. A laundry room definitely dedicated to cleaning stuff, cabinets and storage for products including a big washing big objects/clothes rubbing sink. It’s strange when I see there are houses that doesn’t have a kitchen separate from the cleaning area. We find it not nice in terms if hygiene mixing your dirty clothes, toxic products or dust from the broom of service area with the cooking area. They’re always separate here.
Dont think its worth 450k
Way to small over priced .. my ex council house I live in is bigger then this my house was built in 1950s
Why are you bragging about living in an ex-council house? They're not exactly desirable.
Council houses from the fifties and earlier tend to have been built on quite large plots, as land was so much more plentiful and cheaper then
Jae Bird rather a rude comment!
Nice house
The ceiling seems very low. Have you ever hit those "diagonal ceilings"? British houses seem a little dull, especially in terms of colours. But if this is what makes in British, I am all for it. 445,000GBP (63,000,000JPY) will get me a luxurious house with parking space for four, an hour from Central Tokyo, or a rather large apartment (2 bedroom with a separate dining room and kitchen) in Japan's most populous city.
British houses are far from 'dull'. This is a show home, built to be generic so you can imprint your own personality and see the features without creative intrusion.
Too pricey
I personally wouldn’t get a new build, watching how they are built nowadays the materials, ground prep etc just isn’t as good as the old days.
My dream house would be a detached double fronted 1930’s house with big bay windows ( for the Xmas tree of course) 😍
100% agree!
Definitely a bay for the tree
We live in a 30s semi. Would never buy a new build, too many problems. It’s like a new car, just wait a few years and buy it once all the issues have been ironed out.
Agree 100% would never buy a new build, not great workmanship, cheaply built.
No soul.
I live in a 4 bed semi 50’s built.
Ideal would be a Victorian town house, however in the country which wouldn’t happen 😂
a foreigner like me can’t imagine houses a hundred years old
Thus is a really realistic house, I really liked it and definitely think it’s worth the price!
Nah, it's overpriced.
I think this is quite well priced. Rugby is well located for commuting to bigger cities for work.
It’s overpriced
@@deadaccount5 houses are not going to be cheap, this house is definitely worth the price
I've seen this madness in a few new builds i've been in: WHY ARE THE CEILINGS SO LOW, THEN MADE WORSE WITH CHANDELIERS. It's the same in every new build. Ceilings should be a foot higher minimum, or at the very least use recessed spotlights in the ceilings. Matt is smacking his head on the light fixtures, I mean come on for £450k they are such scrooges they don't wanna lay another 3 layers of brick, that's how cheap these thing are.
It's decent for a new build.
Conflicted on the price though, can't decide if it's good value or overpriced. Especially since a lot of the fittings like the inbuilt wardrobes are optional extras.
Personally think that's way too expensive for the square footage available, especially downstairs. But nicely decorated as expected from a show home.
Would love to see Nottingham!
Nice property, I like looking at new builds compared to other houses.
Main bathroom is smaller than the 2 property, don't like the fact the wardrobe and drawers are upgrades, big garden which I like for my kids. office space I would make a loft conversion.. some properties I've seen have conservatories which I like as a bonus when the weather gets warmer.
I would still live in it
I need the floor plan of this house🤭 so cozy
Couple of thoughts as a designer, the fridges in these homes are on the wrong side of the ovens. The fridge is used far more than getting into the oven you want that fridge closer to you working area. Also, in the least expensive model in this development the fridge is in that corner right next to the wall and you will not be able to remove shelves and drawers to properly clean it.
One other thing I didn't like in this model was having to go thru the utility room to use the main floor bath. Utility rooms are often messy and cluttered with family and life stuff, more of a private area that you would want to be able to close the door on.
Really did enjoy these home tours, thank you.
Although not a fan of new builds, I do like this - it has a nice layout and gives a cosy feel. I have viewed a Redrow house near my home, and liked that too. They seem to be building more traditional style houses, which have a cosy, slightly old-fashioned, feel to them.
That garden is massive omg, maybe it just bc I’ve lived in London my whole life😅
It’s normal size 😂
@@leahroberts6015 that’s not a standard size garden 😂
@@leahroberts6015 deff not normal size especially for a new build
To me that is a big garden too!
@@gplummer73 where I live it is
As a property investor in the uk for 15 years, my advice is no new build is a good investment, this will appreciate a lot slower than older properties, is less robust as built with newer, cheaper materials and will most likely cost a lot more in maintenance after a few years when things start to wear out. Of the 12 properties I purchased and sold, I never once considered new builds or flats as they don’t make sense as an investment and returns would be a lot lower. Your money, your choice but I’m sure if you look into it deeper, it will make sense
How can we learn more King S?
I totally agree.
So true. I’ve heard this said by a builder.
No garage even at that price, awful.
Can you do some houses in the Cotswolds?💜
This house is so cozy! 🙌🏽
Can you do tours in Leeds! Would be good to see. Thanks!
Garden, you get what you pay for? I paid 500k in the East Sussex and my garden is not even half. 🙈
I would love you guys to go to see show homes in Nuneaton, Warwickshire because they have a lot of new homes there like bellway, Davidson’s, David Wilson, Taylor Wimpey, Barratt Homes, Cartwright Homes, Redrow and more!!
Hello from Texas! The model homes in this development are nice, but seem to be lacking in storage closets and wardrobes in the bedrooms as opposed to our homes in the U.S. Found it interesting also that wardrobes are an upgrade and the kitchen sinks seem kind of small (personally I prefer one large, deep farmhouse style sink.) Another feature that would be nice would be some kind of walk in pantry in the kitchen for additional food and countertop appliance storage. Other than that I'd say the layout of this model is very nice. Thanks for sharing. 😊🏡
They don't do that in the UK UNFORTUNATELY. But it will be nice to have such features. House down here are so small...
You don’t have a pantry in the UK unless you’re posh. No one i know has a pantry
@@emily0071000 looool true
@@evanrubbies1317 this is so true 😭 the UK need to up their game.
Big Patry = Big People 🍔
Totally different houses in America specially in Texas state and cheaper by the way ... advantage: more land, obvious ... bigger country - Downside: Flimsy Wooden and plaster board timber Houses that after decade or so needed full revamped or demolished. They love to do that in America.👍😉
I really like the way that this is set up, the kitchen and dining area with a small living area on the side would be ideal for families with kids I think, and then you can keep the main living room as a more formal chill zone
Love how you're careful in covering your hands when using door handles 👍
I thought it was because it’s cold, why does he do it?
@@gmarie3053 I’m pretty sure it was a covid thing at the time 🙂
How is uk government even approving such depressing short ceilings I don't understand
Had two Victorian houses b4 purchasing our first new build in 2017 and we absolutely love it, we are thinking about moving and will only be looking at new builds next. Would love to see more new home tours, there are very few decent ones on TH-cam!
Louise Welsh How do you cope with the low ceilings, the thin walls, the bouncy floors that transmit sound from one level to another? What about the undersized windows that mean you need the lights on all day? How does it feel to know your investment won't keep pace with the rest of the housing market- nobody will pay a premium for a ten year old "new build" on an identekit housing estate.
The fittings, like kitchens, aren't usually included in a new build home price they are extras on top. Expensive really considering it's a new town and there was no previous value to the land.
I really like the layout of downstairs
Massively overpriced for what you get in a new build. I cannot help feel that with tacit government backing developers are really fleecing homebuyers. Houlton is an area where you need a car too as there is very little there other than houses and a school. A shop is on the cards but not yet built.
Not exactly brimming with affordable homes either.
How much did the former top man at Persimmon pocket when he left? Seventy something million iirc. Spread that across the cost of each new build and take into account all of the overpaid execs in these firms and suddenly you realise that literally tens of thousands of the cost of every new build is just to pay the fat cats. Where is the value in that?
Bedrooms size too small and ceiling too low. But ground floor L-shape design is good. No study downstairs. And garage? Ideal price range: 350k-400k
I feel the redrow Cambridge style that was shown earlier looked very spacious and gives me an immediate feel of moving into it right away.
This house surely a bigger one than Redrow Cambridge yet felt very snug..
I would prefer the Redrow Cambridge. Sadly I live in London but I can't get my head turned away from Redrow Cambridge...
If compare to the flats in HK, these houses are paradise! Normally the flats around 700 sq ft in HK cost around 1million pounds! But of can’t compare like this because HK limited lands n a metropolitan city financial center more or less like London zone one
We rent a Taylor whimpy house. Awful build quality, corners cut at ever step, broken tape issues, less buttoning behind plasterboard than required, I’ve even been electrocuted in the shower as the shower rail was screwed into the power cable due to incorrect cable management. Luckily the fittings were plastic or it could have been lethal. Left over rubble also left under the kitchen cabinet carcasses which is telling. The estate is also not fed with the required water levels so water pressure is terrible.
Way way overpriced......leave the furniture in and I will give you 300.000
