Enjoy a warmer winter in a new home in Stafford
Householders who act fast could beat rising fuel bills this winter by moving to a brand new home that’s 40% more energy efficient than a property built just 10 years ago.
Designed to maximise efficiency and minimise waste, new Redrow homes are potentially cheaper to run than their older, second hand counterparts and kinder to the environment.
It means that those who make the switch to a brand new home at Castle View in Stafford could look forward to a warmer winter and beat rising fuel bills.
Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands), commented: “As the dark mornings and evenings set in, people are switching on their heating, but may be worried about just how much it’s costing to keep warm. Buying a brand new home could be the key to keeping out the drafts and saving money. In fact, research has shown that the average household could save more than £550 on energy bills by making the switch from an old home to a new one.”
New homes are said to be 40% more energy efficient than homes that are just 10 years old and 70% more economical than properties built before 1990.
Well insulated, with double glazing and central heating included as standard, all Redrow homes are among just 1% of the nation’s homes that achieve a ‘B’ rating for energy efficiency. They consistently outperform the recommended minimum air-tightness standard which means they lose less heat and have fewer drafts.
Pauline added: “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.”
Castle View offers a choice of three and four-bedroom homes, with prices from £179,995 to £269,995.
They all boast well equipped kitchens with integrated top brand name appliances, plus tall cabinets and extra wide drawers that are both practical and stylish. Family bathrooms and en-suites enjoy quality fixtures and fittings and a tile range exclusive to Redrow.
With part-exchange considered customers with a home of their own to sell could find that making the transition from old to new is quicker and easier than they realised.
“Part-exchange takes the hassle out of moving – we buy your home so that you can buy one of ours. There’s no need to worry about complicated chain delays holding you back from moving as you won’t have to wait for the previous owner to move out so that you can move in,” Pauline added.
Located close to Doxey Marshes nature reserve, yet with easy access to Stafford town centre, residents of Castle View can choose their pace of life.
The homes are well placed for commuting as Stafford train station is within walking distance of the homes, with trains whisking passengers to Birmingham in less than 40 minutes. The town’s rail links are complemented by easy access to the M6 and M6 toll road.
Two show homes at Castle View are open daily from 10am to 5.30pm. For more information, visit redrow.co.uk.
