SAVING YOU MONEY

Saving you money

According to the Home Builders Federation, on average, our homes are 64% cheaper to heat than an equivalent Victorian property, saving you up to £907 a year on your heating bills. With energy prices high, there has never been a better time to buy new. As well as saving on your heating bills our homes are also cheaper to run when it comes to lighting and water with a combined saving of 50% across your energy bills annually.

GREEN MORTGAGES

Green Mortgages

By buying a new energy efficient Bovis Home you could take advantage of exclusive ‘Green’ mortgage products. A mortgage lender could offer lower interest rates on properties that carry an energy performance certificate or a predicted energy assessment rating of A – C. Think of it as a reward for buyers who are purchasing an energy efficient home. All our standard homes have a rating of A or B so this type of mortgage may be ideal if you are looking to purchase a new build home.

KEEPING YOU COSY

Keeping you cosy

Unlike older properties, our homes come with high efficiency double glazing as standard, letting plenty of light and warmth in while minimising heat loss and reducing the amount of noise you’ll hear within your home. Not only do they keep you cosy they also reduce the amount of external noise that you’ll hear within your home.

Additional roof and floor insulation are among the other unseen features included with our homes that will help reduce the costs of keeping your home warm in the winter months, while also keeping you cool in the summer.

REDUCING WATER USAGE

Reducing water usage

Our kitchens and bathrooms incorporate water saving measures, without compromising on style or functionality.

These features mean our homes use up to 20% less water* than the UK average. 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 Bovis home uses 100-110 litres/person/day compared to UK average of 140 litres/person/day according to the Energy Savings Trust
