New homes are approximately 65% more energy efficient, according to the Home Builders Federation. Our homes are designed to be as energy efficient as possible with better ventilation and insulation, quality windows, reduced sound transmission, and increased fire and electrical safety. Energy efficient appliances are fitted as standard. Every home is fitted with gas central heating as standard with an Ideal Logic boiler.

Homes are finished to a high standard with oak veneer internal doors throughout. There are two or three television and telephone points, and smoke detectors fitted as standard.

Rooms are decorated in neutral colours to give you the flexibility to move in straight away or personalise the interior design to suit you.

All external doors have a multipoint locking system included as standard and locks on all windows. There are viewing holes on front doors for extra security. You can choose to upgrade your home with an advanced security system for added peace of mind.

Each home has a statement front door with contemporary handle, door number and knocker. Many have overhead canopies with wall-mounted door lights or ceiling-mounted lights in the porch. UPVC windows in cream or grey have stone-effect finished cills.

The front gardens are landscaped with a tarmac or block paved driveway. Rear gardens are enclosed for privacy and fencing is finished in a dark brown stain. Homes with an integral or separate garage include doors by leading German brand Horman.

Homes are completed to National House Building Council standard with a 10-year Buildmark warranty. This is the UK’s leading insurance cover for new homes. For the first two years we will take care of issues with the central heating, roof or structure of the property and any other agreed areas such as water services. All kitchen appliances are covered by a two-year manufacturer's warranty.

Once built and ready to move in, you will be invited to a guide and demonstration of your new home. On moving day, you will receive a comprehensive homeowner’s handbook and you will be introduced to a dedicated Customer Service Co-ordinator.
