Stay warm with Redrow without worrying about fuel bills
When it comes to staying warm without getting hot under the collar about fuel bills, there’s never been a better time to buy a brand new home in Halifax.
Weather experts say it’s going to be another harsh winter and energy watchdog Ofgem is predicting a rise in average annual household gas and electricity bills to £1,345.
All of which serves to make a brand new Redrow home at Wheatley Chase in Keighley Road all the more appealing.
Newly built Redrow homes are among just 1% of the nation’s properties that achieve a ‘B’ rating for energy efficiency; they are 40% more energy efficient than homes built only a decade ago and 70% more economical than properties built before 1990; and they consistently outperform the recommended minimum air-tightness standard, which means they lose less heat and have fewer drafts.
Patsy Aicken, sales director for Redrow Homes (Yorkshire), said: “According to recent predictions from long-range forecasters, many parts of Britain can expect frequent and significant snowfalls and below-average temperatures this winter. And with gas and electricity bills set to rise, many home owners will be worrying about their household bills.
“Around three years ago, a research study by National Energy Services, commissioned by the New Homes Marketing Board, found living in a new home could save up to £556 a year on average energy bills compared with older-style homes. With increases in the cost of gas and electricity since, the average saving now could be even higher.”
Government regulations require new homes to be built to increasingly demanding environmental standards. As a result Redrow’s new homes are packed with features designed to minimise energy use.
This includes things such as highly efficient heating systems with thermostatic heating control; state of the art double glazed doors and windows that are less draughty; ultra-effective wall and roof insulation; ground insulation to help keep floors warm; and energy-efficient light fittings. They also boast water-efficient kitchen and bathroom fittings for further savings.
Current availability at Wheatley Chase includes a choice of two and three-bedroom homes, with prices from as little as £111,500. They are all built to the same high energy efficient standards and with a top-notch interior specification. Kitchens are well equipped with integrated appliances, plus tall cabinets and extra wide drawers that are both practical and stylish; while bathrooms and en-suites enjoy quality fixtures and fittings.
