Your home

What the developer’s specification says is in every house. Check your own handover pack for the exact details.

Heating and air

  • A-rated gas condensing boiler with two heating zones and thermostatic radiator valves
  • Heat recovery ventilation that recovers about 90% of the heat from expelled air; the unit is in the landing hotpress
  • Solar photovoltaic panels, argon-filled low-E windows and high insulation

Services enclosure

  • Boiler, water booster pump and water tank sit in an enclosure outside the house
  • Service work happens outside, so a tank leak won’t flood the house
  • Designed so the energy source can be swapped later without replacing the unit

Fittings and cover

  • Residence 9 windows and Bergerac painted internal doors
  • Sealed gas fires, intruder alarm, Cat 5 wiring and garden lighting wiring
  • Steel garden shed with light and sockets
  • 10-year HomeBond guarantee

Gardens and parking

  • Gardens of roughly 0.27 to 0.35 acres, designed by Cunnane Stratton Reynolds
