Gladedale aims to beat high oil and gas prices

In today's economic climate with oil and gas prices rising, managing budgets and buying a home can be a daunting prospect. Gladedale is tackling this by helping to ease the impact of the increased household bills and fuel costs.

To beat rising living costs, Gladedale homebuyers in Nottingham will benefit from £2,000 towards their first year's heating and fuel consumption at Oakford Gardens.

Oakford Gardens is a select development of 51 homes, in Strelley, Nottingham, including two and three bedroom semi-detached and three bedroom detached properties. A three bedroom semi-detached Dove showhome recently opened so buyers can experience the quality design and finish of a new home at the development.

Maureen Hynes, sales director for Gladedale Lincoln, said: "We appreciate that it is difficult for new homeowners to predict their outgoings when living costs are constantly rising in the current market.

"Fuel prices have risen around 17 per cent the last year and gas prices increased up to a staggering 35 per cent at the beginning of August. We estimate that the average Briton will pay around £700 more this year so Gladedale's contribution of £2,000 should more than cover these increases."

Additionally, all Gladedale properties boast high insulation ratings to ensure that energy costs are kept to a minimum.

In addition to the £2,000 fuel subsidy at Oakford Gardens, first time buyers can benefit from Gladedale's First Start scheme. First Start entitles buyers to a 5% deposit paid, £400 towards legal fees and the cost of the first valuation.

All homes at Oakford Gardens are completed with modern fittings and appliances ensuring Gladedale customers avoid spending time and money making improvements or alterations often required when moving into an older property.

Prices at Oakford Gardens start from £119,995.
