New build plot advice

Krnchrn

Hello,

Currently looking at a new build home and wondering which plot is best positioned with regards to garden.

Would be plot 17 or 102.

Thank you in advance. :money:

Apologies for having to use spaces in the link, however, this was the only way it was allowed.

17 it would be north west so will get afternoon evening sun.

You need to know what's getting built at the bottom of the garden the road to the left will give access to that.

102 is east facing for morning sun.

in case anyone is interested this is the flooplan(17 is mirror) from plot 4

If you mean for sun that has already been answered.

A couple of other things worth considering:
1. Gardens are notoriously liable to change during the build. There are plenty of posts on here about this happening to people. I recently moved into a new build - mine was ok but the other side of the street have found there's either has a massive slope to the rear or has been shortened.
2. Plot 102 is in a good secure location (difficult for burglars) and you have got a plan for what your surroundings will be, whereas 17 is on the edge and do you have details of what will be around you with the new phase and any assurances this won't change?

there are loads of developers on theis old BEA site I think the plans for the north of this will be around somewhere

102 Garden is close to main road so check noise levels. Not sure where the road at compared to 17.

Sun is similar as far as amount is concerned although 17would see more ‘useable ‘ sun.

Sorry should have mentioned that to the North of the plans is more land which houses will be built from another builder (not known who yet). Thanks for replying! Much appreciated!

What's going to be the other side of the development's border to the north? Is the roadway next to 17 a through-road out, or is that a dead end? If the answer is currently "nothing", then the answer will soon be "another massive building site for a year or three" - at the end of 17's garden, with builders' vans parking all along the side and front boundary, over that "junction" that 17's drive opens onto.

102's northern border edges onto the end of three gardens, and the end onto another two - our old place was like that, and it was a bit of a PITA - everybody thought the end of their garden ideal for things like the kids' trampolines, forgetting it was right outside our back door.

Doesn't sound too great .

Typical as this is the one house type we love and the two remaining plots (actually all the deeper pink shades) have quite poorly directed gardens. The biggest attraction to the house is the doors to the rear and would really love to utilise them but no south/SW or W plots...

Depending on what gets built around it in the next development that it backs onto

It's easy to focus on negatives. I don't think that plot 102 looks too bad. You've got neighbouring gardens sure, but I'd rather have that than a field or road at any side or the back of a rear garden. What you potentially lose in privacy (not much with a good sized fence) you gain in security.
You can seek guarantees about the size of your back garden if you reserve it too. Make sure you have your own lawyer and not the developers 'recommended' one. If you have things that you definitely want get as much of them agreed in the paperwork from the start.
