Leading Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey España is extolling the virtues of sustainably built properties, offering a string of A-rated homes along the coastline of the Costa del Sol. The key-ready properties have been designed to suit the demands of contemporary buyers and offer a range of financial, social and health and wellbeing benefits, as Taylor Wimpey España’s Sales and Marketing Director Marc Pritchard explains: “Buyers now are much more attuned to the benefits that sustainably designed homes offer. The social side of buying an A-rated home – that is, the reduced environmental impact – is important to them, but so are the financial benefits. Well insulated properties with aerothermal heating can deliver significant energy cost savings. They also offer the potential for a higher resale value, by meeting the needs of future buyers, who will likely be even more focused on sustainable features.” The Home Builders Federation (HBF) reports that newly built homes emit 65% less carbon than older properties and that they reduce the cost of heating, hot water and lighting by 50%. Taylor Wimpey España points to the health and wellbeing benefits that A-rated homes offer, as well as their financial advantages. Pritchard continues: |
“Building sustainably means using more natural materials and paying greater attention to things like air quality and natural light. That results in homes that support enhanced wellbeing. Location is important, too, with properties that are within walking distance of shops, services and the beach minimising the need for car use.” |
Providing a wealth of on-site facilities also supports a car-free lifestyle. At Altura 160 in Benahavis (Marbella), where A-rated homes cost from €585,000 plus VAT, on-site facilities include four swimming pools, extensive gardens with picturesque fountains, a bar, a coworking area and a gym, as well as an exclusive concierge service. The individual homes, which include apartments and penthouses, feature aerothermal underfloor heating, LED lighting, double glazing and pre-installation for electric vehicles. A selection of sea and golf views ensure every buyer can find the perfect home within the attractive development. |
Features including aerothermal heating, LED spotlights, double-glazed windows and pre-installation for electric vehicles can also be found at Solemar, located just 750m from Malaga’s stunning Casares Beach. Following the sellout success of the first two phases of the development, the last penthouses of the third phase are now available, priced from €535,000 plus VAT. The spacious, three-bedroom homes face southwest to make the most of the abundant natural light, with large terraces for reaping all the benefits that sea air is known to deliver. The homes stand at the forefront of the market for their energy efficiency, ensuring buyers can reap the financial rewards of buying sustainably.
