Buying your first home? Buying your first new build? Moving house is a busy, but exciting time. A time full of lists, packing, cardboard boxes and big plans.  Do those plans include getting your new build connected to broadband?

Some new builds come with broadband already installed. Others don’t. If internet is important to your way of life, we recommend organising it as soon as you can so you’re not without a connection for too long.

What broadband can I get in my new build home?

As we mentioned at the top, many new build homes come with internet already in place. If you’re lucky, this could be full fibre, offering the fastest speeds.

The government has plans to legislate that all new build properties will be built with broadband built in. Many developers already provide this as they know it’s a selling point.

If your new build home comes with a fibre connection already, you may be already signed up with the supplier who put in the infrastructure (usually BT Openreach but other regional providers are also doing this), for a set period of time. 

Not all developers will mention this when you’re buying a new build home, so it’s worth checking before you begin shopping around.
