Energy efficient dwellings

Whichever life stage you’re at and whatever piques your initial interest, comfort and long-term savings are things that make a serious difference throughout your stay in a property.

For those making aesthetics high priority, the interior may look stunning, but if the rooms are full of draughts, it’s going to be difficult to fully appreciate that.

Perhaps there’s big spaces and plenty of storage for a growing family – but if those spaces are going to prove difficult to effectively heat without breaking the bank, that’s room that comes with a serious cost.

Energy efficiency and borrowing money

If you need any more persuasion to take energy seriously when picking your home, there’s a possibility that mortgage providers could be open to lending people more to buy energy efficient properties.

Retirement options

If you’re choosing a home for retirement, there are different considerations. You may want to downsize; you may want to move to the country or even be closer to the high street. But there may be money issues to consider: your income might have dropped in retirement, or you may want to use as much of what’s coming in as possible for hobbies. This makes it all the more important to make sure your home doesn’t guzzle your money, while leaving you shivering in three jumpers in the wintertime.

Help required?

A home that is energy efficient will provide a great deal of comfort both in the winter and summer months. One little known fact is an energy saving home can demand a much higher selling price when selling, in some case up to 5% more.
