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

About the neighbourhood

Situated in the heart of Essex, Elsenham is a popular location with Londoners looking to move out of the city and into somewhere where they can enjoy a relaxed pace of life.

Most famous for Elsenham Jam (which was once advertised as the most expensive in the world!), there's far more to the village than world-famous preserves. Brimming with everything you need – including shops, a village hall and a pub – Elsenham strikes the perfect balance between slow-living principles and practicality.

If you're looking for community, meanwhile, Elsenham has it in swathes. The village has a busy calendar, hosting multiple events and festivals throughout the year. From the flower show to the farmer's market, our new homes in Elsenham make it easy to settle into life as a local.

Just a short drive away, you'll find the much-loved town of Bishop's Stortford. Having begun life as a Roman settlement, there's some wonderful medieval architecture. The high street is very modern, though, and you'll find an excellent section of shops, bars, restaurants and boutiques.

Foodies will be spoiled for choice as well. For a high-end meal, the Skew Restaurant and Oyster Bar is highly regarded by locals and visitors while, for something a little lighter, Alberts is a firm favourite.

Commuting into the city? Our new build houses for sale in Elsenham are ideal for that too. Nestled between London Stansted Airport and the M11, getting to London, Cambridge or further afield is as easy as can be.

^‡Smooth Move is available on selected new Bovis homes only. Acceptance is at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to refuse to agree to Smooth Move and we are under no obligation to give reasons why. We will instruct local estate agents to undertake an independent valuation and marketing advice for your current home before we make you a proposal on a marketing price for your home. The realistic sale price may be lower than an initial marketing price and is based on a sale within a specified timescale fixed by us. You have the final say at the price at which the property is marketed, but Smooth Move will not be available if the price at which you wish to market your current home is higher than we think is realistic or the timescale is too long. You must agree: 1. No party is currently negotiating to purchase your current home 2. No introduction has already been made by another party 3. Not to instruct another estate agent to sell your current home. You may need to leave a full set of keys and agree to access accompanied viewings for potential buyers with the appointed estate agents. You agree that Bovis Homes will determine which estate agent is instructed and the terms of that appointment. It is not guaranteed that a buyer will be found for your current home or that any buyer will be willing to pay the price you want. Bovis Homes may continue to market your chosen Bovis home and reserves the right to take a reservation on this home until the sale of your current home to a third party is agreed and you pay the reservation fee on your chosen Bovis home. In this case, if available, an alternative home may be offered, but there is no obligation on either party to proceed with Smooth Move. Any sale of your current home to a third-party buyer is at a price approved by you. A reservation fee is payable to Bovis Homes for the purchase of your chosen Bovis home at the agreed price, when you agree a sale on your current home. You agree only to confirm agreement of sale with a purchaser who can achieve an exchange within 35 days and who has been financially qualified to proceed with the purchase of your current home. On the simultaneous legal completion of the sale of your current home and the purchase of your new Bovis home, we will pay the estate agents fees. Please note your buyer could cancel prior to legal exchange of contracts for the sale of your current home. In this instance, Bovis Homes retains the right to cancel the purchase of your chosen home and retain the agreed proportion of the reservation fee in accordance with your reservation agreement. We reserve the right to withdraw Smooth Move if an acceptable buyer is not found within the specified period. Should we secure a purchaser for your current home on your behalf and you do not proceed to purchase a Bovis home, you may be liable to pay all Estate Agent fees. Reservation fees may vary dependent upon the location of your new Bovis home. An upfront fee of £500 is required, all of which is refundable against the reservation fee and purchase price of your new Bovis home. If you choose not to purchase, Bovis Homes will retain up to fifty percent of the fee to cover reasonable administrative and other costs incurred in processing and holding the reservation. Smooth Move is available on selected plots only.
