'Watt a Save' – the latest report by The House Builder Federation, using research based on Government Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data – reveals that the average new build energy bill is up to 64% cheaper than running costs for older properties, saving homeowners up to £2,207 a year in running costs.

That's the equivalent of up to £72 per month for apartment buyers, up to £132 per month for bungalow owners and as much as £183 per month for house-buyers (* totalling a saving of £2,207 a year).

Properties built from June 2023 onwards – to Part L regulations – are estimated to save homeowners up to £2,000 on their annual energy bills, rising to £2,575 for houses specifically.

And in the country's efforts towards attaining net zero, the average new build house emits 61% less carbon than older houses: 1.29 tonnes of carbon per year, just 36% of that of the average older property, which emits an average of 3.52 tonnes per year.
