Research conducted by
gov.uk has proven that having external wall insulation installed does add value to your home. In this blog article, we’ll go through the different aspects of how this type of insulation increases the value of a property, which is one of the biggest benefits of EWI installation.
There are other factors such as location and size that will have a major impact on the saleability of a home/property. However, with rising living costs and current climate conditions, buyers are also looking at how energy efficient a property is.
EPC stands for Energy Performance Certificate, which is based on a scale from A to G, with A being the highest and G being the lowest.
The fact that external wall insulation will inevitable better your EPC rating is one of the main reasons your home or property can sell for more on the market compared to properties that fall on the lower bands.
In comparison to other types of insulation, EWI can make one of the biggest improvements in EPC rating, sometimes helping a property jump to two bands above its current one.
“It’s what’s on the inside that matters.” It may very well be that way but you can’t help but appreciate the outside as well. When it comes to renovating a home or a property, people start with the inside, which can make a huge difference in its saleability. However, renovating the outside can be just as important.
Having unattractive exterior walls will in the end take away from the overall aesthetic of the property even if the inside has been done up to a high standard. Having EWI installed will beautify the outside and thus add aesthetic value to the overall market price.
With the current market, it is difficult to give an exact estimate as property prices aren’t stable and acting as rational as they used to. However, the data collected from a survey conducted by gov.uk states that:
“If the market (in this case in the form of surveyors) were behaving rationally, financial benefits worth approximately £8,000 would be taken into account by surveyors when valuing properties post-installation of EWI, comprising £5,000 from energy cost savings over a
36-year period plus an uplift of £3,000 due mainly to an improvement in the appearance and condition of the property.“
