With house types ranging from compact starter homes to larger family properties, prioritise rooms you'll use most. For smaller homes under £250k, consider neutral paint colours to maximise space and choose multi-functional furniture. Larger properties benefit from zoned lighting and quality flooring throughout main areas. All homes will need window dressings - measure carefully as new-build windows often have non-standard sizes. Focus on the main living areas first, then tackle bedrooms. MyNewHomeHub can connect you with local Suffolk trades experienced in new-build properties who understand Persimmon specifications and can recommend suitable materials for your specific house type and budget.
