How does eco-friendly tech impact property value?

As well as the many environmental benefits and energy bill savings, installing eco-home technologies can also be great for the value of your home. 

Solar panels have been shown to increase house value by 4.1% on average, which would translate to an extra £9,500 for the average UK home. 

Wall insulation has even been shown to increase property value by more than 25%!

Installing eco-home technologies is likely to improve your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, something which is likely to become increasingly important in the years to come, and will be more valued by house buyers as we transition to a greener way of living. 

It's likely that all rental properties will need an EPC rating of ‘C’ or above by 2025, and all homes across the UK – both owned and rented – will need to achieve a ‘C’ rating by 2035.
