GREEN MORTGAGES

Green Mortgages

By buying a new energy efficient Bovis Home you could take advantage of exclusive ‘Green’ mortgage products. A mortgage lender could offer lower interest rates on properties that carry an energy performance certificate or a predicted energy assessment rating of A – C. Think of it as a reward for buyers who are purchasing an energy efficient home. All our standard 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.

KEEPING YOU COSY

Keeping you cosy

Unlike older properties, our homes come with high efficiency double glazing as standard, letting plenty of light and warmth in while minimising heat loss and reducing the amount of noise you’ll hear within your home. Not only do they keep you cosy they also reduce the amount of external noise that you’ll hear within your home.

Additional roof and floor insulation are among the other unseen features included with our homes that will help reduce the costs of keeping your home warm in the winter months, while also keeping you cool in the summer.

REDUCING WATER USAGE

Reducing water usage

Our kitchens and bathrooms incorporate water saving measures, without compromising on style or functionality.

These features mean our homes use up to 20% less water* than the UK average. Our taps and showers use aerated technology to provide the feeling of a strong flow, whilst using less water. Plus, our dual low flush toilets use the minimum amount of water to ensure less waste.

*Average Bovis home uses 100-110 litres/person/day compared to UK average of 140 litres/person/day according to the Energy Savings Trust

Exeter, Devon

If you’re looking for a wonderful new home close to both city and country life, your search ends here. You'll be on the outskirts of the city at our Matford Brook new housing development. Located just a short drive from Exeter, you can visit the many attractions that are situated in its centre. Exeter Cathedral is an important part of the city's heritage. With a history dating back to 1050, this building has a breathtaking vaulted ceiling and is the seat of the Bishop of Exeter. Church services are held at the cathedral every week and these are open to all members of the public. You can also take in the stunning displays and galleries available for viewing at the world-class Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery. There are always new and exciting exhibits and activities going on that make for a fun day out for all the family. After a day of sightseeing, you're spoilt for choice if you're looking for a place to eat with a vast array to choose from. Closer to home is the quaint suburb of Alphington, where you can access a number of convenient amenities right on the doorstep of our new builds. Take advantage of the nearby Sainsbury's and Lidl stores or take the kids for a stroll in one of the many nature play areas.

If you have children, take your pick from the schools rated 'Good' and 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in the vicinity of our new housing development. There are several primary schools nearby where your young ones can safely further their academic progress. An exciting new addition to the area is the Matford Brook Academy, newly opened in September 2023. Available for children from nursery and reception ages through to secondary, this state-of-the-art school is located just a four-minute drive from our new build homes. If you've got older children, you'll find plenty of secondary school and college options: there's the Maynard School – an independent institution for girls aged from 4 to 18 – and the award-winning Exeter College, which is located nearby and is ideal for those aged 16 and above.
