There are a number of different types of property which, when considering to purchase, may all come with different pros and cons. One couple did, however, have a very clear idea on the property they wanted, and here’s how they made it happen. 

 

David Ffrench and Lindsey Berresford purchased a plot of Land in Bristol, in 2011, with a vision of the dream home they wanted. The pair’s goal was for the property to be as eco-friendly as possible, and so, their planning took careful consideration with the help of Michael Drake Architects. 

 

Four years of hard work and £230,000.00 cash later, the couple had achieved their dream. The economic planning was accounted for right down to the last slither of cement, literally. The environmental focus included the following: 

 

- A rainwater system, which gathers on the roof and filters into the ground, that is used to flush the toilets; 

- Little to no plastic was used in the development; 

- The use of pile foundations, which meant that much less concrete was required. 

 

The above, as just a few examples of the pair’s initiative, mean that their energy bill now comes to less than £150.00 per month. This would be music to the ears of, not only, our solicitors in Preston, but all homeowners we would imagine. So, why does this matter you may ask.
