Energy efficiency significantly raises the price of a house in England

The use of energy saving technologies in the construction of apartments and houses in England can, on average, increase its value by 14% , and in some regions of the country – up to 38%

If you take the average house in England and to improve its Energy performance Certificate (Energy Performance Certificate) from band G to band E, or from band D to band B, it may mean the rise of more than £16,000 to the sale price of the property. This investigation was conducted by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) – the Department of Energy and climate change.

Improving the efficiency of the group the CRS group E may increase the value of a house in England more than £25000 and the average house value in England in the North West will increase by £23000.

In the report, reflecting the research of over 300000 homes sold in England between 1995 and 2011, reflects the most comprehensive research in this area to date. In the result the conclusion is made that energy efficiency is a key factor that affects the sale price of apartments and houses in England.

Before it was absolutely clear that the use of energy saving technologies – a huge advantage for a new home, but this is the first time a study is real proof of the high potential of these homes. To have your house built with the use of energy saving technologies is not only to protect themselves from the constant growth of energy prices, but also to understand that the real value of your property higher.

The UK government is trying to help working families lower the cost of living. This is the aim of the program – the “Green Deal”.

The “green Deal” – a program that helps owners pay for some costs for improvement of energy saving with the payment, distributed in time and returning via electricity bills.

Thanks to the “Green Deal”, many people were able to produce different kinds of improving their homes, reducing the high costs of maintaining a home. This is a great choice for those who want to improve the appearance and potential value of your house.

Almost half the homes in England are currently level of efficiency in group D. a Typical house in the West Mindsense in the group are estimated to be £17000 more. And in the North-East this figure can reach up to £19000 which is £3000 more than the national average.

The vast majority of people in the UK already understand that energy efficiency home is the most important criterion in the market. Fuel bills continue to rise and buyers are becoming more conscious and aware of the energy efficiency of their new homes. These buyers are ready to overpay when buying, investing in energy-efficient home, knowing that he’ll return the funds later.
