How Much Could You Save with a New Build?

With rising bills causing energy efficiency to be high on every homeowner's priority list, there's never been a better time to consider buying a new build. Modern construction techniques and materials, paired with the latest technology, ensure that new homes are built to the highest energy-saving standards.

New build homes will typically feature better insulation, energy-efficient windows and fittings and modern heating/cooling systems – all of which will significantly decrease your energy consumption. As a result, homeowners not only enjoy lower energy bills but also contribute to a greener and more sustainable environment.

The House Builder Federation recently shared the latest figures from their 2024 'Watt a Save' report.

  • New build homes emit 61% less carbon a year than an older property
  • 85% of new build homes have an A or B EPC rating
  • The average new build is powered by 57% less energy cutting bills by us to £183 per month

Investing in a new build is not just a smart financial decision; it's a step towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle. As the world continues to focus on reducing carbon footprints and conserving energy, choosing a new build home aligns with these global goals.
