Want to make savings on your energy bills? Trade old for new…

With energy prices soaring - the BBC predicts rises of as much as 40% over the winter and domestic energy supplier Centrica says they could rise by more than 60% in the next few years - trading in your ‘gas guzzler’ for a brand new home could prove a wise move this summer. Research by National Energy Services has shown that living in a new build property could save you up to £556 per year on energy bills at present rates. If, as predicted, prices continue to rise the saving could become even greater.

While tempting enough, making savings on energy bills isn’t the only benefit of moving to a brand new home, as a visit to Jelson Homes’ St Mellion Heights development in Grantham will prove. You won’t have to worry about the expense of replacing a tired kitchen or bathroom – you will have a beautiful, fitted kitchen and modern white bathroom suite. Nor will you have to get rid of someone else’s style before adding your own – your new home will be decorated in neutral colours giving you a blank canvas on which to stamp your personality, and it will be fitted with carpets as standard.

Combine this with the fact that all of the homes at St Mellion Heights benefit from Jelson’s traditional standards with solid internal walls, Jelson-made double glazed PVCu windows and custom built kitchens from Jelson’s own workshop, and these homes offer exceptional value for money.

So, whether you’re looking for your first home, to move up the ladder or to downsize to something smaller, a new build Jelson home could be a cost-effective and stress-free solution. In fact, the hardest part will be choosing from the wide range of properties available at St Mellion Heights. From a selection of 3 bedroom semi-detached homes to substantial 4 and 5 bedroom detached houses, there is something to suit a variety of lifestyles.

Located in a peaceful residential area on the edge of Grantham, St Mellion Heights is just a short drive from the town centre’s supermarkets, selection of shops and well-regarded schools, making it a great choice for families.

Commuters will benefit from excellent transport links - the A1 provides easy access to Peterborough and onto London, whilst Nottingham and Leicester are both within commutable distance. Meanwhile, Grantham train station offers direct services to Peterborough in just 20 minutes and Nottingham in as little as 30 minutes. You can even be in the heart of London in less than an hour and twenty minutes.*

Prices start at just £139,950 for a 3 bed semi-detached home and £224,950 for a 4 or 5 bedroom detached home. For more information on how a new home at St Mellion Heights could be a great move, visit the show home open Thursday through to Monday, 12.00 noon – 5pm or visit Jelson.co.uk.
