New homes 'more energy efficient'New homes 'more energy efficient'
Concerns that gas bills could grow by more than 60 per cent should be enough to prompt house buyers to consider purchasing properties that are energy efficient, according to Redrow and Bryant Homes.
The two developers have built a range of new homes at their Stamford Brook development in Altrincham and every property is specially designed to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
This has been achieved through airtight construction, insulation, efficient heating and ventilation systems, and carefully planned layouts to maximise sunlight.
Redrow sales director Patsy Aicken said: "A brand new home is already said to be up to four times more energy efficient than its older second hand counterpart thanks to modern standards of insulation and more efficient heating systems."
Stamford Brook is a development of two-bedroom apartments and three and four-bedroom homes, with prices from £134,950. Prices correct at the time of publication.
According to the price comparison site uSwitch, gas prices could increase by up to 60 per cent this year, plunging an extra 2.4 million people into fuel poverty.
