When you move into a Renaissance community, not only will you benefit from having a community on your doorstep in a beautifully appointed apartment designed for later living, you could also save on monthly bills.
Our modern, new build apartments have higher energy efficiency ratings than older properties, so you are likely to save on heating, utility and electricity costs.
According to research carried out by the Home Builders Federation (HBF), on average, owners of a new build property save £395 on heating bills, £28 on hot water and £12 on lighting each year. In total, the yearly household bill for older properties was £890, almost twice as much as the annual bill for a new build which was £455.
Moreover, this data was taken from their March 2022 report; before the energy price cap increase, so savings are likely to be even greater now.
Downsize from a larger property with 3-4 bedrooms to a Renaissance apartment, and you're likely to make even bigger savings as you won't be paying to heat vacant rooms. Our one and two bedroom apartments provide exceptional spaces to call home with a guest suite on site for visiting friends and family, so you can continue to live a sociable lifestyle whilst reducing your energy costs.
The communities we build have a high EPC rating which, in short, is a review of a property’s energy efficiency. The difference between a low and a high EPC rating could mean mega-savings on energy bills each year.
The average property across England and Wales has an energy efficiency rating of D. At Renaissance, we comply with the ever increasing requirements for energy efficiency of the Building Regulations, resulting in a higher standard and a better insulated home, likely to save you on running costs. In addition to this, all of our apartments have modern low-energy integrated appliances throughout.
With comfort and convenience as top priorities, all of our home are well insulated and use a combination of high performance double and triple glazed windows, guaranteeing you a cosy night in when you want one in a space designed to keep the heat in, not out.
Our Sandhurst, Poole and Bourne End communities all benefit from having a Ground Source Heat Pump installed to generate heat for the homes.
This system offers excellent low carbon heating that is popular due to its high efficiency rate and low running costs. It works by making use of the ground's constant temperature to heat up your home; either for space and/or domestic water heating and should lead to reduced running costs when compared to gas-based or direct electric heating alternatives.
What's more, all of our Renaissance communities are located in desirable areas with an abundance of amenities and transport links on your doorstep with most being just a short walk away from the local high street or town centre, so you can leave the car at home and save on fuel costs.
