In this blog, we explain how investing in green home improvements like insulation and solar energy boosts property value, reduces energy bills, and enhances comfort, making homes more appealing to modern buyers.
Investing in an efficient home can significantly increase your house price by making it more attractive to potential buyers.
Lower energy bills, a smaller environmental footprint, and a comfortable living environment are increasingly appealing features for buyers, ultimately raising the value and market appeal of your property.
What is a Green Home?
A green home is one that has been retrofitted or built with features and technologies to reduce the amount of energy used (such as gas or electricity) to have a comfortable home, or change the type of energy you use, such as switching from a fossil fuel heating system to a heat pump.
There are numerous energy-reducing measures, and the most common types are:
- Double or triple-glazed windows
- Cavity wall insulation
- Solar PV and battery systems that generate and store renewable energy
How Do Green Home Features Impact Future Property Value?
A government report analysing 300,000 property sales in England found that energy-saving improvements could increase property value by 14% on average, and up to 38% in some parts of the country.
Why Upgrade your Home?
- Increased property value: Energy-efficient and sustainable features make a home more attractive to modern buyers.
- Increased comfort and liveability: Features like better insulation, ventilation, and temperature regulation can make a home more comfortable and healthy to live in.
- Lower energy bills:Green home improvements like better insulation and more efficient heating/cooling systems can significantly reduce a home's energy usage and costs. This provides long-term financial savings for homeowners.
- Smaller environmental footprint: Green homes have a lower impact on the environment through reduced energy consumption and emissions.
