Deciding whether to rent or buy a home is one of life’s biggest decisions. Renting offers flexibility, lower upfront costs, and the freedom to move easily. But for those ready to put down roots, buying a new home — especially a new build from Evans Homes — offers advantages that go far beyond ownership.

Energy Efficiency and Lower Running Costs

For many home movers, energy efficiency and lower running costs are now top priorities. New build homes are designed to modern standards with high-quality insulation, efficient heating systems, and improved sustainability — helping to reduce monthly bills and environmental impact.

A Stake In Your Own Home

Alongside these savings above, owning a home also means every payment contributes to your own financial future, rather than paying rent to a landlord.

Build Quality and Modern Design

Today’s buyers are increasingly focused on build quality and modern design features when choosing where to live. Evans Homes developments are created with this in mind — combining contemporary layouts, open-plan living, and premium finishes that reflect modern lifestyles.

And because each home is brand new and never lived in, you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing your property has been built to last.

Lifestyle, Family, and Freedom to Personalise

Finding a home that suits your lifestyle is key. Evans Homes’ designs provide the flexibility to adapt to your needs — whether that means creating a dedicated workspace, entertaining in a light-filled kitchen-diner, or enjoying time outdoors in your private garden.

Owning your home also means the freedom to personalise — to choose finishes, make changes, and create a space that truly reflects who you are.

Community and Belonging

The appeal of living in a new development goes beyond the home itself. New communities offer a sense of connection, shared values, and belonging from the very start.

At Skelton Lakes in Leeds and Regency Place in Tockwith, this is built into every design decision — with green spaces, thoughtful layouts, and strong local links.

Renting vs Building Your Future with Evans Homes

Of course, renting will always suit some people — it offers convenience, flexibility, and less responsibility for maintenance. But for those ready to invest in their future, buying a new home offers long-term financial, lifestyle, and environmental benefits that renting simply can’t match.

With developments such as Skelton Lakes, Regency Place, and the upcoming Whinmoor Fields, Evans Homes creates modern, energy-efficient homes in thriving communities — where buying isn’t just a financial decision, but a lifestyle choice that grows with you.
