A new Housing Building Federation report has found new build buyers could save more than £3,100 a year when the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) increases.

The HBF has conducted a report into energy usage and found newer homes need drastically less energy to power and heat, and therefore are significantly cheaper and more environmentally friendly to run.

On average, buyers of new homes save over £2,000 on household bills per property each year, equivalent to £174 a month. For buyers of houses, as opposed to flats the savings are even greater at £216 per month, an annual saving of £2,600.

With energy prices set to rise again in July as the Energy Price Guarantee ends, the savings that new builds can offer consumers will increase even further, rising to an average of £3,117.85 for houses.

At Chandlers Homes, we’ve committed to go beyond the standard insulation requirements with an additional 50mm in external walls, giving a 0.13 U-value compared to 0.18 U-value required as standard. The lower the U-value, the more slowly heat is able to transmit through it, which means it performs better as an insulator.

This is part of our commitment to build homes to the highest standard, with attention to detail you won’t find anywhere else.
