Are Eco-Credentials Climbing Buyers’ Wish Lists?

In recent years, energy efficiency and sustainability have taken centre stage in the property market — and 2025 is no exception. Buyers are increasingly prioritising homes with strong eco-credentials, not just for environmental reasons, but for long-term cost savings too.

Features like good insulation, double or triple glazing, energy-efficient boilers, solar panels, and a strong EPC rating are proving more influential in buying decisions. With energy prices still a concern and environmental awareness on the rise, a home's efficiency is no longer just a nice bonus — it's a key selling point.

Whether you're planning to sell soon or just thinking ahead, investing in your home's green features could make all the difference.
