Brand New House

I'm looking at a brand new house which is on the first release of a new site. Should be built in August. Out of about 10 houses 4 have been sold. I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend what freebies I should ask for?
I've been told I'll get nought as its the first phrase and theirs no houses standing empty, what do you think?

Lots of builders are offering deals, if you don't ask you don't get. If you are in a good position they are more likely to agree, I would ask for carpets, turf, stamp duty and legal fees and see how you get on.£2.00 Savers Club = £34.00 So Far
+ however may £2 coins I have saved in my Terramundi since 2000.

When we bought our house, we got carpets and also we didn't have to pay a deposit, the house was delayed so we had 100k sitting in our savings account for four months. That made us about 2k in interest.£2.00 Savers Club = £34.00 So Far

I've just bought a new build David Wilson house, the deal I got was 5% deposit paid, stamp duty paid, legal fees paid, appliances (washer/dryer, oven, hob & dishwasher) and carpets throughout.
They pretty much gave it away! It's a buyers market at the moment, builders are struggling to get sales so take advantage of your strong position as a buyer and screw them over.0 -
