Why buy new?
MAKE YOUR HOME YOUR OWN
Saving you money on your energy bills
Replacing a previous owner’s idea of ‘interior design’ can be a costly and time-consuming process. Move into a brand new home from Countryside on the other hand, and you have the perfect blank canvas just waiting for you to make your home your own!
NO NASTY SURPRISES
Buy a new home from Countryside and there’ll be no nasty surprises or extra maintenance costs waiting for you and you’ll have the peace of mind of a 10-year NHBC warranty and insurance policy. Buy a second-hand home, and who knows what you could be faced with?
BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE
Countryside creates quality, eco-friendly and sustainable homes in the best locations. Our outstanding range of new homes is designed for modern living with lower environmental impact and running costs, and low maintenance. These provide compelling reasons to choose a new home from Countryside.
Our homes are 27% more energy efficient than the national average and 56% more energy efficient when compared to a Victorian property*. With energy costs on the rise there’s no better time to buy a home with energy saving features included. According to the Home Builders Federation, on average, owners of a new build property save up to £2,000† on household bills each year. Those that buy a new build house specifically see even greater annual savings of £600 – which is equivalent to three weeks of an average mortgage or the cost of a takeaway coffee every working day for the year! There are lots of energy saving features included:
- Double glazing - PV panels to apartment buildings - Additional roof insulation - Low energy LED lighting - Appliances with high efficiency ratings - Electric car charging points
REDUCING WATER USAGE
Our kitchens and bathrooms incorporate water saving measures, but that doesn't mean you'll be compromising on style or functionality. These features mean our homes use 20% less water than the UK average, with clear cost savings for our homeowners ‡ . Our taps and showers use aerated technology to provide the feeling of a strong flow, whilst using less water. Plus, our dual low flush toilets use the minimum amount of water to ensure less waste.
*Average Countryside SAP is 84.2 compared to the national average in England which is 66 according to the English Housing Survey. †Refers to an average for all types of new build properties. ‡ Average Countryside home uses 100-110 litres/person/day compared to UK average of 140 litres/person/day according to the Energy Savings Trust https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/why-we-should-all-be-saving-water/
