Words by Richard Werth, CEO at Troy Homes
It is fair to say that the end of 2022 was a turbulent time for the UK property landscape.
However, the luxury housing market appears to be in its own bubble thanks to customers with a huge appetite for stunning, high-quality homes.
Luxury home buyers have always sought the finer details. And since the pandemic, when houses shapeshifted into work offices, gyms, nurseries, restaurants, outdoor entertainment venues and places to relax and unwind, many have reflected on their lifestyles and opted to invest in newer properties that epitomise elevated luxury living — with all the perks of modern property design…
From stylish interiors and modern amenities to spacious, multi-purpose living spaces designed with practicality in mind, high-end new homes offer it all. Most importantly, they come pre-fitted with the latest appliances and utilities, removing the headache of refurbishment and allowing owners to enjoy their leisure time and reap the benefits of luxury living straight away — all whilst reducing energy costs.
So, what new and exciting features are modern luxury homes offering for discerning buyers — and why should you consider making the investment?
Small details that make a big difference
Luxury living looks different to everyone. For some, it encompasses privacy and exclusivity — for others, an idyllic location or a modern, well-designed home with high-quality fittings.
In today’s luxury market, buyers want more than these surface-level benefits: they also pay close attention to the little things that come together to create the perfect setting for an opulent lifestyle…
Quality amenities at the heart of the house
The kitchen: sometimes a quiet haven, often a lively hub of chatter and cooking. A space to eat. A space for entertaining. A space that feels like home.
From homeowners who like to host elegant dinner parties to young families looking for convenience, kitchens in luxury homes aim to suit every need without compromising style and comfort.
Imagine an open-plan kitchen with a sleek induction hob that is easy to use and maintain, boiling water on tap (no kettle necessary), a spacious fridge-freezer fit for entertaining friends or family feasts and first-class integrated appliances that make cooking — and cleaning up — a breeze.
Customisable space to suit every need
Contemporary luxury homes offer unparalleled flexibility, championing adaptable living spaces that can be moulded to meet the changing demands of modern family life.
Suppose you require a home office that allows you to stay productive no matter what. In that case, you might reimagine a bedroom as a peaceful study, drenched in natural light and insulated to keep distractions to a minimum. With prewired, fibre optic broadband for uninterrupted ultra-fast Wi-Fi connections throughout the house and plugs in convenient and discreet locations, a high-end new build allows homeowners to arrange their space in a way that best suits them — without limitations.
This flexibility can also add a sense of multifunctionality, allowing owners to transform an intimate living area into a haven of relaxation for everyone to enjoy — where movie nights reign supreme, little ones can play and families can unwind in each other’s company. Specialist wiring for media systems and LED mood lighting allow homeowners to enhance the atmosphere at the flip of a switch, making the most out of every living space.
Spa-like opulence for the everyday
Adding a welcome touch of luxury to the everyday, sophisticated specifications allow bathrooms to transcend bland functionality to create the ultimate sanctuary…
Is there anything better than stepping out of a hot shower with incredible water pressure and wrapping up in a soft, warm towel from a heated towel rail? Enjoy the glow of under-cabinet PIR lighting at your luxurious vanity units — with discreet power sockets and bespoke storage to hide your toiletries in style.
Making the most of your investment
Our homes have increasingly become the centre of our world. So, it is no surprise that today’s high-end buyers value thoughtful design and practical attention to detail to achieve the ultimate luxury: quality and comfort that stand the test of time.
As homebuyers seek to cut out complications and dive straight into making their house a home, purchasing a new luxury property means no extra splurges on renovations, with fewer repairs needed down the road. So, although these homes come with a bigger price tag, they promise quality, reliability and lower future costs — essential for anyone planning on planting long-term roots.
Plus, with the rising costs of running a large home, many homeowners enjoy the substantial energy savings new properties offer. High-end new constructions can provide practical solutions such as PV panels and heat recovery units to reduce waste. Homeowners can then put these savings towards other exciting ventures, such as holidays with family, soirees with friends and building the life they want to live in their new home.
The best thing about buying a new home in the luxury market? The personal touch. Developers play a significant role in delivering a luxury experience for the buyer — from start to finish…
From bespoke design, colour palettes and flooring styles to accessibility options, many luxury housebuilders can adapt these homes to suit buyers’ needs and complement their lifestyles. When dealing with a luxury developer, you can expect the highest standard of service even after you have settled in — with support from a customer care team that can offer guidance and clarity at every step.
But more than anything, a new luxury home is ready for buyers to enjoy as soon as they walk through the door — enabling you to embrace a truly carefree lifestyle thanks to excellent design, high-quality media, low energy costs and ready-to-use appliances.
