Trade in your ‘gas-guzzler’ for an energy-efficient, new build home

In the face of soaring energy prices - which the BBC predicts could rise by as much as 40% over the winter – trading your older property for a brand new home could be a shrewd move this summer. According to research by National Energy Services, living in a new build property could save up to £556 per year on energy bills at present rates. If, as predicted, prices continue to rise the saving could become even greater.

But saving on energy bills is not the only benefit of moving to a brand new home, as a visit to Jelson Homes’ Casterton Heights development in Stamford will prove. When you move into a new home, you don’t have to worry about the expense of replacing a tired kitchen or bathroom – you will have a beautiful, fitted kitchen and modern white bathroom suite. This, combined with the fact that all the homes at Casterton Heights come with carpets fitted throughout as standard, means you can concentrate your creative energies – and DIY budget – on putting the finishing touches to your new home.

And with Jelson Homes’ Part Exchange Scheme, trading in your ‘gas-guzzler’ couldn’t be easier. There are no chains to fall apart, prices are agreed and you can stay in your current property until your new home is ready. The whole stress of selling is taken out of the equation so that you can get moving.


The hardest part will be choosing from the range of 4 and 5 bedroom family homes available. While some of the homes have a flexible 3 storey design and others have a traditional 2 storey layout, most have en suite facilities to the master bedroom and some feature a study, providing for those who need space to work from home.

And then there’s the location - lying less than a mile from the town centre, Casterton Heights is conveniently placed for Stamford’s host of local and high street shops, independent boutiques, welcoming pubs and eclectic range of restaurants. While school-age children are well catered for by the area’s excellent selection of primary and secondary schools, travel links are equally impressive with the A1 close by and a direct train service for commuting to nearby Peterborough.

With a new view home due to open its doors to the public in early September, you’d be well advised to visit soon to have the pick of the plots.

Prices start from £239,950 for a 4 bedroom house and from £289,950 for a 5 bedroom home. To find out how a move to Casterton Heights could make you great savings, visit the show home open Thursday to Monday, 12pm – 5pm, Tel: 01780 756 834.
