A recent study conducted by a quango, the Energy Saving Trust, found most properties could be improved to meet current green energy standards for less than £3,000. The same study also claimed 70% of property buyers would negotiate a property’s price if they discovered it was not energy efficient.
The Energy Saving Trust has also called for energy inefficient properties to be banned from both the sales and rental markets.
The UK Government is also seriously considering charging buyers of properties with poor EPCs a premium on Stamp Duty.
According to other Estate Agents, but not Enviro Estates, the eco friendly Estate Agent, that eco-friendly features for homes remain a luxury for most buyers, wherever the location.
Enviro Estates, the eco friendly Estate Agent, believe that small affordable homes can still be found to have eco friendly credentials, though overall very few homes possess solar panels, wind turbines and other renewable energy sources, which Enviro Estates, the eco friendly Estate Agent, believe will change due to their new brand Eco Energie, supplier of value for money renewable energy products.
