Enjoy a warmer winter in a new home in Rubery
Act fast and you could beat rising fuel bills this winter by moving to a brand new home in Rubery.
Industry regulator Ofgem estimates that the average annual duel fuel bill has risen from £1,150 last winter, to £1,345 this year – an increase of 17%.
But as new Redrow homes at Great Park are among just 1% of the nation’s homes that achieve a ‘B’ rating for energy efficiency, those who make the switch from old to new, could find they actually save money on fuel bills.
Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands), commented: “As the dark mornings and evenings set in, people are thinking about switching on their heating, but may be worried about just how much it’s costing to keep warm. Buying a brand new home at Great Park in Rubery could be the key to keeping out the drafts and saving money. 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.
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.”
Current availability at Great Park includes a choice of four and five-bedroom homes, priced from £244,995.
They all boast Redrow’s high specification interiors with convivial open plan layouts that put the kitchen at the heart of the home.
Kitchens are both practical and stylish and are well-equipped with integrated top brand name appliances including oven, microwave and fridge freezer, plus tall cabinets and extra wide drawers that offer plenty of storage.
Fitted wardrobes, built-in book shelves, outside lights and under lighting to kitchen units are included in the standard specification; while bathrooms and en-suites boast quality fixtures and fittings, with a tile range that’s 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.
Close to the Great Park leisure and retail facilities, there’s plenty to keep residents of the new Redrow homes at Great Park occupied. And with easy access to the M5, the development’s well placed for commuting.
Two show homes are open daily for viewing, enabling potential purchasers to experience all that a brand new Redrow home has to offer. For more information, visit redrow.co.uk.
