They feature significantly more insulation than standard homes, and also benefit from photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof to catch the sun's energy and an impressive A EPC Rating. The homes are constructed using the most modern methods of construction and a super insulated timber frame construction, which also benefits from low embodied carbon emissions. Each home includes a 10 year Build Zone warranty, features cycle storage, off street parking and an electric car charging point, for zero carbon transport too! Reducing emissions, to significantly lower utility bills, to a healthier and more comfortable home environment; view our show home and reserve today.
W HAT I S AN ECO HOME? 1 2 T WO B E D R O O M ECO F R I E N D LY H O M E S An eco home refers to an environmentally low-impact property that has been built using responsibly sourced materials, with the aim of reducing its carbon footprint and lowering its energy needs. These properties are also capable of generating a lot of their own energy through natural means, so clean, renewable energy sources such as solar panels, solar batteries and air/ ground source heat pumps are often integrated into the bricks and mortar of these homes. Insulation is another key focus in the construction of eco homes, as good quality insulation can massively improve the thermal efficiency of a property, allowing it to remain hotter or colder as required with little to no reliance on traditional temperature control systems powered by fossil fuels. Many eco homes also come with in-built electric car charging ports.

operational energy needs. This will mean a reduction in energy consumption that is around 70% lower than typical, pre-existing buildings. Such a reduction can only be achieved by meticulous design during the building phase, with a focus on efficient passive features such as double or even triple-glazing, high quality insulation, and cutting-edge technologies that will aim to replace traditional, fossil fuelled systems.
How do sustainable homes benefit the climate? The climate crisis commonly makes headline news thanks to the extreme climate events that are now happening regularly around the globe. Buildings are a significant culprit of high carbon emissions, as most buildings are not built with the environment in mind, relying solely on gas and oil for power. This results in buildings being accountable for 35% of all the worlds energy consumption! Eco homes are significantly more efficient than standard homes due to their ability to generate their own power, being ready for battery storage, and being fully electric - thus benefitting from the National Grid’s move towards net zero carbon.
than serves to provide information on the property's energy efficiency and its environmental footprint. It is assessed on a scale from A to G, with A representing the highest possible rating, and G representing the lowest, in accordance with EPC regulations. Purchasing a home with an A EPC rating provides several financial incentives. For example:
Cheaper mortgage Lenders may provide increased flexibility in assessing your affordability, as they will anticipate lower energy expenses. Additionally, reduced energy costs can contribute to financial advantages. It is always worth checking this with an experienced broker before making any final decisions though, so if you are considering buying an eco home, have a chat with one of Finamply’s expert advisers.
Reduced monthly bills As previously covered, low energy consumption and selfgenerating energy amounts to minimal energy costs for homeowners.

Westgate is regarded as a well-kept secret amongst the towns and villages along the north coast of Kent.
This picturesque village with its canopied shops is a perfect base for city commuting, shopping in Canterbury and Westwood Cross or just enjoying the blue flag beaches or our local sea front pub.
Once known as Mayfair-by-the-sea when wealthy Londoners visited for the summer, it still boasts many grand and historic buildings such as our magnificent listed Carlton Cinema and stunning balcony apartments overlooking garden squares. Westgate-On-Sea is just minutes from the A299 with a journey of approximately 75 minutes to the O2 Arena and Greenwich. Of course if you’d like a stress-free journey, then just take the train from Westgate straight through to London Victoria. Travel in the other direction and just two stops along you’ll be able to enjoy the seaside towns of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate. There are a number of schools in the Westgate area ranging from nursery through to Secondary education, not forgetting the doctor’s surgery. Those who enjoy sport will find a magnificent 18-hole golf club, windsurfing along West Bay, endless miles of promenade for serious runners, gentle beach-top walks or just follow the Viking Trail bike rides. A popular residential area for young families, London commuters, second home purchasers and couples.
