Energy Efficiency Isn't Worth More Yet

New research reveals households could slash energy bills by £400 annually with simple upgrades like insulation and LED lights — yet energy-efficient homes aren’t commanding higher prices, with top-rated A/B homes selling just 1.7% more than D-rated ones, and F/G homes even selling 3.5% cheaper. While major upgrades like heat pumps and solar panels cost thousands, smaller changes offer big savings — especially for the least efficient homes, which could save over £1,700 yearly. Despite government targets to boost energy ratings to C by 2035 and the rising cost of energy, the property market still undervalues efficiency. Experts believe incentives could shift this soon — but for now, it’s a waiting game for homeowners to reap the true value of a greener home.
