The Appeal of Green Homes 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?

1. Increased property value: Energy-efficient and sustainable features make a home more attractive to modern buyers.
2. Increased comfort and liveability: Features like better insulation, ventilation, and temperature regulation can make a home more comfortable and healthy to live in.
3. 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.
4. Smaller environmental footprint: Green homes have a lower impact on the environment through reduced energy consumption and emissions.
