Brits Are Future Proofing Their Homes, Increasingly Valuing Sustainable Elements

The title of this post, is the same as that of this news item from Centrica.

These are the first two paragraphs.

It may still be true that for many, their home is their ‘castle’ but if so, it better be a well-insulated castle, as new research shows that Brits increasingly value energy efficient and environmentally friendly houses.

A survey from Hive revealed that the top selling points on a dream home for modern Brits are related to sustainability, with solar panels (68 percent) and good roof insulation (67 percent) valued more than design features such as natural lighting (53 percent), wooden flooring (22 per cent) and reclaimed woodwork (21 percent). Smart home technology such as a smart heating system (62 percent), a smart energy meter (48 percent) and an EV charger on the driveway (39 percent) were also top considerations.

As I fitted solar panels and good roof insulation to my house, their research could fit me.

I haven’t fitted an EB charger as I don’t drive.
