New-build home description: example and free generator

New-build descriptions live or die on precision about stage and specification: "off-plan", "under construction" and "ready to occupy" set very different expectations for completion dates and mortgage offers. Buyers assume nothing is included, so spell out the spec, the warranty and any estate management charge. Predicted EPC ratings and council tax bands still awaiting assessment should be labelled as exactly that.

Tips for writing new-build home listings

  • Be precise about the build stage: "off-plan", "under construction with anticipated completion in Q1" and "ready to occupy" mean very different things for a buyer's mortgage offer window.
  • List exactly what the specification includes - flooring, appliances, turfed garden, EV charging - because new-build buyers rightly assume nothing until it is stated.
  • Name the warranty type and length factually (for example, a 10-year structural warranty) without presenting it as your own or the agent's guarantee.
  • State any estate management charge on freehold plots, and label council tax as awaiting assessment and EPC ratings as predicted where that is the case.
  • Describe incentives exactly as the developer frames them and add "subject to terms"; never present a contribution or scheme as certain or available on every plot.
