Buying a new construction home is an exciting opportunity to create your dream living space from the ground up. At Signature Homes Ontario, we specialize in building modern, affordable luxury homes in London, Ontario—offering you a seamless and rewarding experience from blueprint to move-in day. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or upgrading your lifestyle, here’s what you can expect during the journey of purchasing a newly built home.
1. Choosing the Right Model
Your journey begins by selecting the home design that best fits your lifestyle and family needs. Signature Homes offers thoughtfully designed models like Daisy, Lily, and Marigold, each featuring elegant layouts, premium finishes, and open-concept living. Our model homes showcase various design options, so you can visualize your future space.
During this phase, you’ll work with our team to:
- Review floor plans and elevations
- Choose the number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Explore upgrade packages and customization options
2. Understanding Pricing and What’s Included
New construction homes are often priced based on the base model, with optional upgrades adding to the final cost. At Signature Homes, we pride ourselves on transparent pricing and premium standard features, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
We’ll walk you through:
- Base price and included features
- Optional upgrades (flooring, cabinetry, fixtures)
- Estimated closing costs and timelines
3. Signing the Purchase Agreement
Once you’ve selected your model and features, the next step is signing a purchase agreement. This contract outlines your payment schedule, possession date, and any customization requests. We recommend reviewing it with a real estate lawyer for added peace of mind.
This is also when you’ll typically:
- Pay a deposit
- Choose a mortgage lender or get pre-approved
- Lock in pricing for any chosen upgrades
4. Customization and Design Selections
One of the biggest perks of buying new is the ability to personalize your home. Our design consultants will help you choose finishes and fixtures that reflect your taste and lifestyle. From kitchen countertops to tile selections, this phase turns your house into a home.
Our design center features:
- Flooring, cabinetry, and paint samples
- Lighting and hardware options
- Expert guidance to stay within your budget
5. Construction Timeline and Progress Updates
With your design choices in place, construction begins. Signature Homes will provide regular updates on the progress of your home build, so you’re never left in the dark. While construction timelines may vary due to weather and supply chains, our team works diligently to stay on track.
What you can expect:
- Framing and foundation work
- Plumbing and electrical installation
- Drywall, painting, and finishing touches
6. Final Walkthrough and Quality Check
Before you receive the keys, you’ll do a final walkthrough with our team. This allows you to inspect your home and ensure everything meets your expectations. We’ll review all systems, appliances, and finishes, and address any last-minute touch-ups.
Expect to receive:
- A detailed home orientation
- Warranty information
- Tips for maintenance and care
7. Move-In Day and After-Sale Support
The moment you’ve been waiting for—move-in day! With keys in hand, you’ll step into your brand-new home built to your vision. Our relationship doesn’t end there. Signature Homes offers after-sale support to ensure your satisfaction long after you’ve moved in.
We’re here to help with:
