Making off-grid homes easier to sell

Housing Wed, Jul 12, 2017 8:46 AM

As a developer, anything that makes a home easier to sell is welcome. When it comes to selling homes in off-grid, rural areas, getting the energy supply right is vital.

One of the best ways to do this is to ensure future homeowners feel like they’re on the national gas grid, enjoying cheaper and greener energy than they would with solid fuel or oil.

How? By creating miniature ‘gas grids’ powered by LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), which work by delivering an uninterrupted gas supply from storage tanks to individual homes – with each property’s usage monitored using a meter.

Flogas Britain, one of the UK’s leading LPG providers, boasts a specialist team that does just this. The team is dedicated to providing bespoke, convenient fuel solutions to rural, off-grid housing developments, and its goal is simple: to help developers build and sell off-grid, gas-powered homes.

One convert to Flogas’ solution is developer Bloor Homes, which opted for centralised LPG from Flogas to power Lanwades Park, its brand new off-grid housing development in Kentford, Suffolk. Not only does the miniature LPG grid deliver instant and reliable gas to residents, but it also helps ensure the development meets the minimum new-build efficiency requirements outlined in Building Regulations.



Bloor Homes engineer Jason Evans says of the Flogas LPG grid at Lanwades Park: “It allowed us to have one communal system that fed directly into individual homes, providing them each with their own metered supply. The response has been fantastic. Not only are our customers reducing their carbon footprint, but importantly they really don’t feel off-grid at all.”

Flogas has more than 30 years’ experience in providing fully managed LPG conversion projects for both new-build housing developments and existing estates. To discuss your requirements and hear more about the company’s competitive ‘per-plot’ rates (starting at £400), call 03332 209 132 or email developersales@flogas.co.uk.
