Energy efficient new homes near Cannock

Redrow homes

Buy a brand new home in the Staffordshire village of Great Wyrley and you could save money on fuel bills.

Well insulated, with double glazing and central heating fitted as standard, new Redrow homes at Oakwood Grange are easy to manage and efficient to run. It means that those who buy now could find that they are able to keep warm in the winter without having to worry about hefty gas and electricity bills.

Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands), commented: “When figures were last collated the average household could save more than £500 on energy bills if they moved from an older property to a brand new home. This doesn’t take into account recent price hikes and, with new homes said to be 40% more energy efficient than those built at the beginning of the decade, the savings could actually be far higher.”

Redrow homes consistently outperform the recommended minimum air-tightness standard which means they lose less heat and have fewer drafts. They also achieve a ‘B’ rating for energy efficiency.

“The cost of making an older property as energy efficient as one our new homes soon mounts up. To install a new heating system, loft insulation and new windows in a typical three-bedroom home would set you back almost £10,000,” Pauline added.

Current availability at Oakwood Grange includes a choice of four-bedroom properties, priced from £219,995.

Boasting high specification as standard, they include well equipped kitchens with integrated top brand name appliances and lots of storage space, plus sleek modern bathrooms and en-suites with quality fixtures and fittings.

“Another advantage of buying a brand new home is that it comes with the peace of mind of a 10-year ‘Buildmark’ warranty, while the appliances are covered by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty. Plus with no upward chain to get caught up in you won’t have to wait for the previous owner to move out so that you can move in,” Pauline explained.

“And it’s not just in the design of our properties that we aim to make things easy for our customers – with part-exchange moving up the property ladder is quick and simple. We buy the customer’s old home so that they can buy one of our beautiful brand new homes.”

An easy to follow video guide to part-exchange is available to view via the award-winning broadband TV channel Redrow.TV.

Located in Walsall Road, close to Cannock town centre, Oakwood Grange enjoys easy access to the M6, A5 and A34 and is well placed for commuting to Walsall and Wolverhampton.
