Brand New Home buyers may find that a choice of carpets and curtains are sometimes offered as part of the sale, either as a standard element of the purchase or as an incentive.
It is worth remembering that there is a considerable cost involved in buying and fitting carpets and curtains and that, in many cases, such an offer from the housebuilder can represent very good value (and a lot less hassle on your part!)
