LOWER energy bills and ease of living are among the reasons why moving to a new home in Bewdley adds up.
Elan Homes is highlighting the benefits of its new homes, taking shape at Sandbourne Gardens on Stourport Road.
Built to the latest energy efficiency standards, they offer the power to reduce energy bills, skip costly renovations entirely and future-proof your home.
Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball explained: “A home is a long term emotional and financial investment and we’re encouraging people to consider the bigger picture and look beyond simple price comparisons. When things like energy bills, specification and how much it would cost to bring an older property to the same standard as a new home are all factored in, the potential savings are substantial.
“Research from the HBF and Octopus Energy found that upgrading an older home to match the energy efficiency of a new build home would cost anything from £23,100 to £83,000. But that doesn’t take into account the toll living around the works could have on family life. Buying a new build home offers a convenient solution as all the work is done by us before you’re given the keys. There’s also the chance to reduce your energy bills. It’s estimated that the average new build homeowner pays 21% less for energy a year than someone living in an older property, saving around £420. The saving increases to £618 when compared with a home rated F or G.”
For those looking for an energy efficient new home in Bewdley, Sandbourne Gardens offers a choice of two, three, four and five-bedroom properties, with current prices from £299,995.
There’s even the rare chance to own a new-build bungalow. A two-bedroom Haywood is available from £350,000.
Heating and hot water in Elan’s new homes in Bewdley will be powered by air source heat pumps, in place of traditional gas boilers, with underfloor heating to the ground floor of the properties. Every home will have an electric vehicle charging point.
Subject to build stage, buyers will have the opportunity to customise their new home before moving in by selecting things like the finish of the kitchen, the flooring and bathroom tiles.
Elan’s new homes in Bewdley are ideally placed for families, with a choice of schools within a short walk. Blackstone Nature Reserve offers the opportunity to explore the outdoors close to home. There’s a choice of local shops and restaurants nearby, while Kidderminster and Birmingham are both easily accessible.
The show home at Sandbourne Gardens is open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm. For more information see www.elan-homes.co.uk/developments/sandbourne-gardens.
