New Build Homes: Greener, Cheaper and Smarter with Curo

Choosing a new build home over an older property is not just a smart financial decision—it's a step towards a greener future.

Did you know, on average, new build homes are 57% more energy efficient than older properties, which can save homeowners up to £1,685 annually*. These savings translate to about £140 a month, making new builds a financially sound choice. For new build houses, the savings are even greater, with an average reduction of £2,195 per year* on energy bills. These financial benefits are paired with a significant environmental impact, as new homes emit 61% less carbon than their older counterparts, reducing annual emissions by 2.16 tonnes per property. This contributes to an annual decrease of 500,000 tonnes of carbon emissions nationwide, underscoring the environmental benefits of choosing a new build home.
