In with the new

Enjoying the benefits of a brand new home at Redrow’s Fenway Park development in Chippenham can make you savings on household bills and also environmentally friendly.

In a recent poll on the Redrow website, 49% of visitors said they would choose a new home over a second hand property for its energy efficiency and easy to maintain qualities

Almost a third of those polled also revealed that having a blank canvas to create their own style of home is another major factor in wishing to buy a brand new home.

Rachael Baillie, sales director for Redrow Homes (South West), said: “This recent web poll is yet another indication that today’s home hunters are very much aware of the benefits they will enjoy if they purchase a brand new property.

“With the average household energy bill on the increase I think people are starting to realise that having a modern, better insulated new home will bring them massive savings in the long term. I would encourage all home hunters to come along to our marketing suite at Fenway Park to see for themselves the excellent energy efficient homes on offer.”

According to the New Homes Marketing Board, which is promoting national New Homes Week from March 20th – 26th, brand new homes are on average, four times more energy efficient that older buildings which means lower running costs and reduced pollution from greenhouse gases; while water efficient fittings in new homes are designed to minimise domestic water consumption.

New homes are also inherently safer and more secure than older properties, as developers use fire resistant materials and fit circuit breakers and smoke alarms as standard. The modern locks fitted to new homes often mean lower insurance premiums and the comprehensive 10-year Buildmark warranty offered by the National House Building Council provides peace of mind for customers about the quality of their new home.

Redrow’s Fenway Park development in Chippenham will eventually comprise 136 homes, offering something for everyone from families to young professionals, empty nesters and investors. Current availability ranges from one and two-bedroom apartments, priced from £129,995 through to three and four-bedroom homes, from £244,995.

There are also three-bedroom semi-detached houses, from £204,995, plus a selection of three and four-bedroom townhouses, from £219,995.

To experience Fenway Park for yourself and to see Redrow’s new Signature specification, which includes a wealth of kitchen and bathroom choices and other options to personalise your new home, visit the fully furnished show home between 10am and 5.30pm seven days a week.
