Buying a new home at North West Quadrant: what to check

• Reservation agreements: the fee is often non-refundable and the deadline to exchange can be as short as 28 days. Instruct a conveyancer the day you reserve.
• The long-stop date: your contract should say the latest date the home must be finished, and what happens if it is not.
• Warranties: check the home has a new homes warranty (for example NHBC, Premier Guarantee or LABC) and what it covers in years one and two.
• Estate charges: many new estates have a management company that charges a yearly fee for roads and green spaces. Ask for the figures before you exchange.
• The resale gap: resale flats in Slough have fallen 6.5% since 2022 while houses rose 8.8%. A new flat can lose value quickly once it is no longer new, so we make sure you know the resale figures before you commit.
• Leases and service charges: we check the lease, ground rent and service charge budget for every new flat.
• Searches come from Slough Borough Council.
