New Parents Buy Energy Efficient Home In Manchester

Anupam and Shrabanti hadn’t intended to purchase their first home until next year, but after facing rising energy bills in their rented apartment, they were desperate to change their living arrangements in time for their baby’s arrival. 

Lecturer Anupam, 34, and wife Shrabanti, 32, fell in love with Countryside homes after visiting friends who had purchased on another development, and were thrilled when they discovered a three-bedroom home for sale at Belle Vue Place in Manchester. The development wasn’t far from where they were living in Stockport, and with accessible transport links for work, they didn’t want to miss the opportunity. 

Anupam explains: “We had been saving for three years and our plan was to purchase next year, to give us more time to save. As we already had the money for a deposit and a house became available at Belle Vue Place, we decided to go for it. We just welcomed our baby boy last week and we were getting worried about living with the baby in the apartment, as the heating was constantly on and our energy bills were rising. We began to feel overwhelmed at how we were going to manage financially once our son was born.”

Now settled in their new, three-bedroom home from the WhatHouse? Award-winning developer, the couple have already noticed a reduction in their energy bills.

Anupam adds: “We have noticed the house feels generally warmer, even in winter and we’ve not had to use the heating as much as when we were living in the apartment.”

As energy costs continue to rise, Countryside properties include energy saving measures as standard, making the properties 27% more energy efficient and use 20% less water than the national average.

Joe Turner, managing director, Manchester and Cheshire East, Countryside, comments: “It’s great to hear stories like Anupam and Shrabanti’s and we’re always pleased to play a part in their house buying journey. Energy efficiency is increasingly becoming front of mind for many homeowners, and as Anupam and Shrabanti’s story highlights, savings can be made when it really counts. We wish them all the happiness in their new home as a family.”
