Housebuilder highlights savings with part l implementation in Northamptonshire

A Northamptonshire homebuilder is integrating Part L energy efficiency standards into its new housing development in Overstone.

With the introduction of Part L, homeowners at David Wilson Homes’ Overstone Gate development have the potential to make substantial cost savings on their energy bills, while enjoying eco-friendly and sustainable living.

Part L, in simpler terms, is like a magic wand for household expenses. It's all about making homes super energy-efficient, in order to ensure the ability to use less energy for heating, lighting, and other everyday needs.

The new requirements see buildings having to perform to higher standards – reducing CO2 emissions by 31%, together with a new emphasis on low carbon heating systems. These measures are also an interim step towards the Future Homes Standard that will arrive in 2025.

By implementing the changes at Overstone Gate, David Wilson Homes has taken another giant leap towards creating homes that can save homebuyers money in the long run.

New build homes are up to 64% cheaper to run, according to the Home Builders Federation’s Watt a Save HBF July 2023 report, which could save homebuyers up to £2,200 per year on energy bills.

Jason Hearn, Sales Director at David Wilson Homes South Midlands, said: “We're thrilled to bring Part L into the homes at Overstone Gate. It's all about giving our homeowners the best of both worlds – beautiful, comfortable homes that are also budget-friendly.

“With the potential to save up to £2,200 per year, new build properties are a game-changer for our customers.

“As such, we’d encourage anybody interested in finding a new property in Northamptonshire to speak to our Sales Advisers to find out more about the new properties available, to ensure they don’t miss out on the first pick of the new homes.”

David Wilson Homes at Overstone Gate is situated between the villages of Moulton and Overstone, where residents can benefit from a range of amenities like shops, pubs and cafes, along with a brand-new school.

A number of three and four bedroom homes are available at the development with many moving schemes and unique offers available to help house hunters get moving.
