Save on bills and renovations in a new home in Ilfracombe

LONG-TERM savings and ease of living are just two of the reasons why moving to a new home in Ilfracombe adds up. Elan Homes recently released a new phase of its Seascape development, taking shape on land at The Shields.

Built to the latest energy efficiency standards, they offer the power to reduce energy bills, skip costly renovations entirely and future-proof your home.

Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball explained: “A home is a long term emotional and financial investment and we’re encouraging people to consider the bigger picture and look beyond simple price comparisons. When things like energy bills, specification and how much it would cost to bring an older property to the same standard as a new home are all factored in, the potential savings are substantial.

“Research from the HBF and Octopus Energy found that upgrading an older home to match the energy efficiency of a new build home would cost anything from £23,100 to £83,000. But that doesn’t take into account the toll living around the works could have on family life. Buying a new build home offers a convenient solution as all the work is done by us before you’re given the keys. There’s also the chance to reduce your energy bills. It’s estimated that average new build homeowner pays 21% less for energy a year than someone living in an older property, saving around £420. The saving increases to £618 when compared with a home rated F or G.”

For those looking for an energy efficient new home in Ilfracombe, current availability at Seascape includes a two-bedroom Georgeham style property, priced from £249,995, and a choice of four-bedroom townhouses, priced from £415,995.

Subject to build stage, buyers will have the opportunity to customise their new home before moving in by selecting things like the finish of the kitchen, the flooring and bathroom tiles.

Elan’s new homes in Ilfracombe are being built in an established residential area, with schools and a supermarket nearby, and potential for stunning views out to the coast.

The high street is less than half a mile away and is home to a range of independent retailers. There’s a choice of beaches nearby, plus Exmoor National Park is within easy reach.

The sales office at Seascape is open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm. For more information see http://www.elan-homes.co.uk/developments/seascape.
