In a new Gleeson home, you can expect affordable monthly mortgage payments, and low-cost living, as not only are our homes affordable to buy, but they are affordable to run too. 95% of Gleeson homes achieve an EPC rating of B or above*, meaning a new home is definitely the sensible choice when it comes to energy efficiency. 

Data from the House Builders Federation ‘Watt a Save’ report August 2024 found that owners of a new build home can save over £2,200** a year on their energy bills compared to buyers of existing properties.
