Bourne-based housebuilder Larkfleet Homes, part of the Larkfleet Group, can demonstrate that its properties are the most energy-efficient new homes in the local area.
According to the housebuilder, other builders in the area simply cannot offer the same added value that its focus on energy-efficiency provides customers.
Larkfleet Homes builds many of its properties to meet level 3 of the Code of Sustainable Homes - some 25 percent above the current minimum requirement for energy efficiency set out in building regulations - highlighting its commitment to creating well-built and energy-efficient homes.
Properties on Larkfleet's Willoughby Walk and Old Laundry developments in Bourne, its Parsons Prospect development in Eye and the Flinders Fields development in Donington all meet level three of the Code for Sustainable Homes and are built using sustainable timber frames.
The timber frame construction method used is an efficient method of building which allows for quicker construction times. The timber frames are sourced from sustainable forests and supplied and erected by Kestrel Timber Frame, also part of the Larkfleet Group.
The housebuilder believes that these building methods mean that homebuyers will gain extra added value in the long term due the energy-efficiency that is built into the fabric of its properties.
Larkfleet is also confident that it is the only housebuilder in the area to offer its customers renewable energy technologies.
Larkfleet Homes is currently offering the installation of photovoltaic panels (PV) - that produce energy from daylight - as part of a standard build on phase two of its Parsons Prospect development in Eye, near Peterborough.
The installation of PV panels will benefit homeowners for years to come due to the government's Feed in Tariff (FIT) scheme that encourages the development of small scale renewable energy generation.
Under the FIT scheme, electricity companies are required to pay homeowners for all energy generated by the PV panels and an additional amount for any that is 'exported' to the grid. Homeowners can also reduce their electricity bills by using the energy they generate.
With increasing energy prices, Larkfleet properties are an investment for the future. The energy-efficient nature of Larkfleet homes could save homebuyers up to £600 a year in fuel bills.
Jason Colmer, Larkfleet sales director commented, "Larkfleet is committed to providing energy-efficient housing for people in the East Midlands and East Anglia. Our properties are built with energy-efficiency in mind and are designed to benefit homeowners for years to come. I do not believe that any other local housebuilder can match this quality and focus on sustainability that benefits Larkfleet customers. Larkfleet is proud to be setting a high standard in the local area and will continue to look at new sustainable building methods to provide our homebuyers with energy-efficient homes."
