Eco-Friendly Homes
Why so many Londoners are buying new to go green in 2023
How to reduce your carbon footprint…and your energy bills.
Eco-friendly new homes are quickly becoming the preferred choice for many homebuyers due to their focus on sustainability and environmental impact.
We are proud to offer eco-friendly new homes that are designed with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind.
Go new for lower energy bills
One of the primary benefits of eco-friendly new homes is their focus on energy efficiency. These homes are designed with the latest building regulations in mind, which means they are built to maximise energy efficiency and reduce the amount of energy required to maintain a comfortable living temperature. This translates to lower energy bills for homeowners, which can save them thousands of pounds over the lifetime of their home.
New Build Apartments
Newer buildings, especially those constructed to meet modern energy efficiency standards, typically have better insulation, more efficient heating systems, and advanced technologies such as double-glazed windows and energy-efficient appliances. These features can contribute to lower energy consumption and reduced energy bills.
Energy-efficient new build apartments in the UK often adhere to building regulations, such as the Code for Sustainable Homes or the Building Regulations Part L. These standards aim to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. By meeting or exceeding these requirements, new build apartments can provide considerable energy savings compared to older buildings.
Period Conversion Apartments
Period conversions, on the other hand, refer to the conversion of older buildings into residential units. These conversions can vary significantly in terms of energy efficiency, depending on the extent of renovations and upgrades carried out during the conversion process.
While it's possible to improve the energy efficiency of a period conversion through measures like insulation upgrades, installation of efficient heating systems, and double-glazing, it may be more challenging to achieve the same level of efficiency as purpose-built new build apartments. This is because older buildings may have limitations in terms of insulation and structural design.
To get a more accurate estimate of potential energy bill savings, it's recommended to consider factors such as the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, energy usage data, and the specific features and technologies implemented in each property.
