Energy Efficiency

Green Mortgages

By buying a new energy efficient Linden Home you could take advantage of exclusive ‘Green’ mortgage products which could offer lower interest rates on properties that carry an energy performance certificate or a predicted energy assessment rate of A – C. Think of it as a reward for buyers who are purchasing an energy efficient home. All standard Linden homes have a rating of A or B so this type of mortgage may be ideal if you are looking to purchase a new build home.

Integrating renewable technology

Going Electric

Thinking of making the switch to an Electric Vehicle? Many of our new homes which have an associated parking space will have a charging point, which is compatible with any electric vehicle. Meaning if you switch to an Electric Vehicle or already own one, you won’t have to worry about installation costs.**

**In some homes where your allocation parking space is in a covered car park the caballing for a EV charger will be laid but no charger will be installed.

Powered by green energy

Many of our houses enjoy the benefit that sunshine brings with PV solar panels that make your new home less reliant on grid energy, which in turn helps you to reduce your electricity bills. How much you save will depend on your electricity usage vs how much electricity your panels are generating.

What’s more if the panels generate more electricity than the home uses then you may be able to sell the energy back to the grid.

Over the next couple of years, we are also increasing our use of renewable energy sources across our developments, so our homes will be less dependent on gas and diesel. Not only that but we are ensuring our current homes are future proofed for our customers. So, if you want to make your home even greener by installing an Air Source Heat pump, the hardware behind the scenes will already be installed in your home.+

Healthy air

It might not be the most glamorous feature to shout about, but air quality plays a vital role in our health, so we install decentralised mechanical extract ventilation, a low energy, low noise solution to remove the moisture out of wet rooms, which regulates the humidity in your home.

This creates a healthier home environment as it is especially good at removing damp and condensation, which are the main causes of mould. The lower humidity level reduces house dust mites and significantly improves the health of allergy and asthma sufferers.
