Improve your home’s EPC rating and appeal to environmentally conscious buyers with these practical upgrades.
Energy efficiency has become a priority for many UK home buyers—especially with rising utility bills and growing environmental awareness. A strong Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) can make your home stand out.
Top energy-saving upgrades:
-
Add insulation: Loft and cavity wall insulation can reduce heat loss.
-
Upgrade your boiler: A modern, A-rated boiler improves efficiency and cuts heating bills.
-
Install LED lighting: Low-energy lighting throughout the home makes a noticeable difference.
-
Seal drafts: Draught-proof doors, windows, and letterboxes.
-
Double-glazing: Replacing old single-pane windows enhances thermal performance.
Why this matters when selling: Homes with higher EPC ratings can command better offers and attract eco-conscious buyers. They may also sell faster, especially in urban and first-time buyer markets.
Ask your conveyancer to ensure the EPC is up to date and readily available for potential buyers.
