When you purchase your apartment at The Lock at Greenford Quay, you can slash your energy bills by up to 48% – ensuring that you have more money in your pockets to spend on personalising your new home.
Recent data from Home Builders Federation shows that by purchasing a new build apartment, you can save up to £1,368 a year from April on your household bills[1]. All of our homes have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of B, compared to the national average of D, meaning these modern properties have annual running costs that are 56% lower than the national average.
By 2035, all homes must have a minimum rating of EPC C, “where cost effective, practical and affordable”. This means over the next 12 years, many will spend up to a staggering £12,540 upgrading their homes to meet governmental standards [2]. Buying a new property, with an EPC rating of B will protect you from these costs, leaving you with the knowledge that your home meets the latest environmental standards.
The Lock at Greenford Quay has been thoughtfully designed to champion our ‘Building a Living Legacy’ sustainability strategy. The development’s high building fabric efficiencies, photovoltaic panels and thorough insulation, all play their part in reducing energy usage and carbon emissions.
Data has shown that last year, new-build home purchasers reduced carbon emissions by an average of 2.2 tonnes a year per home. In line with this, every aspect of The Lock has been designed to achieve 36.8% of regulated emissions, using renewable energy wherever possible. Sustainability is at the heart of the waterfront neighbourhood, with net-positive biodiverse green infrastructure implemented across the site – helping to improve air-quality for residents.
Not only can you make savings on the cost of running your home, but we also have a range of offers and incentives to support you on your initial purchase. When you reserve a home at The Lock, you can choose between our 5% Deposit Match incentive or our stylish furniture packs in collaboration with IKEA – keeping prices low right from the very start of your property journey.
