I’ve had 4 new builds. I was a cash buyer for my current house. I researched when the builders half year would be. Based on that being around my house hunting time I made an offer for my brand new house. I also asked for a dishwasher.
My offer was accepted because presumable the builder (nationwide major house builder) wanted his books to look good for the half year returns!
Worth every penny & I know from Rightmove comparing houses around bought at the same time, me I got a very good deal indeed!
It’s always worth a try
