The benefits of choosing a new home

The freedom to design your home as you like and the long-lasting durability of the building materials are just a couple of the numerous benefits of owning a new home.

In addition to this, we are focusing and striving to deliver homes that are fit for the future, by consistently providing energy efficient and sustainable properties.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to move, a new home may be the ideal choice, offering the highest standards of quality and a sustainable long-term solution to saving on energy and costs.

How much could you save by choosing a new home?

An energy report from the Home Builders Federation Watt A Save found that buyers of new-build homes are saving over 65% on household bills each year, as well as reducing carbon emissions by over 500,000 tonnes.

The financial benefits of choosing a new home are clear, but it also benefits the environment. One reason for this is that new homes tend to carry much higher EPC ratings than older, less energy-efficient homes.

For homes recorded in the year January 2024, 86 per cent of new-build homes achieved an EPC rating of A or B, while less than four per cent of older homes reached the same standard.

Choosing a new home helps to protect our planet

The Home Builders Federation’s 2022 report, Cleaner, Greener, Cheaper, also outlined how new-build homes are significantly better for the environment, reducing carbon emissions by 61 per cent compared to older properties. Overall, owners of new-build homes surveyed saved the equivalent of 576,000 tonnes of carbon emissions in total.

All homes from Spitfire feature electric car charging points, and new homes also feature air-source heat pumps as standard, as well as energy-efficient LED lighting throughout and A+ rated appliances where applicable.
