PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT
" There ’ s a welcoming community feel in the area and the development is sympathetic to the village , offering high quality , gorgeous homes which are spacious and thoughtfully set out ."
“ This allowed us to go away and still have a week when we returned from holiday to get ourselves organised and have a much more relaxing move , despite it being the hottest day of the year when we did in fact move !” stepping into the chain in our place , leaving us free to buy our home directly from Cala without any further delays .”
On the topic of heat , with energy prices on the rise , Christine and Alan were also attracted by the savings they could make in the long-term by leaving behind their 50-year-old house in Clacton-on-Sea and moving to a more energy efficient new-build .
Many Cala customers make use of the Part Exchange service as it gives the certainty of a chain-free move without any estate agent fees , Home Reports or survey costs . Cala ’ s Part Exchange valuations are free and no-obligation , so it is easy to explore whether the homebuilder can help with a smoother move .
Christine continued : “ With things suddenly moving more quickly , the holiday we ’ d had booked for months was now going to fall the day after completion of our sale . Cala understood this wouldn ’ t leave us enough time to move so were brilliant in granting us licence to stay in our home for two weeks after completion .
New homes are built to a layout and specification which means 84 % are rated A-B for energy efficiency , compared to just 3 % of existing properties . According to the Home Builders Federation , on average , those living in new homes save over £ 2,000 on household bills per property each year , equivalent to £ 173 a month . For buyers of houses , as opposed to flats , the savings are even greater at £ 220 per month .
With new homes generating only a third of the carbon produced by the average older property each year , the couple ’ s new home ’ s impact on the environment is also far lower than that of older housing stock .
