How are new build homes more energy efficient?

Our highly efficient ‘Fabric First’ approach to building homes helps reduce energy usage compared to older properties. From the way every new home is laid out and the materials we use to build it to the high-specification doors, windows and heating systems we use, everything is designed to retain heat in the home.

If you’re looking to go a step further, you can upgrade your home to include solar panels and more using My Redrow.

Why do up an old house if you can buy a new home?

If you think you can achieve the same level of energy efficiency by renovating an older property quickly and cheaply, it’s time to think again. The average cost of renovating a three-bedroom house to modern standards is around £70,000**. Don’t forget about all the extra costs like architects and planning too.

However, buying a new build doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice character and charm. If you’re looking for a home packed with Arts and Crafts Era-inspired character and kerb appeal but with the energy performance and open plan living spaces of new homes, it’s time to explore our Heritage Collection.
