We can all agree that 2020 has been a year like no other! Spending most of the summer in lockdown, there was no choice but to cancel those well-made holiday plans. But all is not lost! We’ve come up with three great ways to put your unspent holiday budget to good use, with the very real prospect of increasing your property value, too!
Invest In Double Glazing
Keeping homes warm and toasty through the winter months is a high priority for many West Midlands homeowners. At a time of year when the slightest gaps around windows or doors are magnified, autumn is the ideal time to prepare for the worst that the winter months can do. With this in mind, we’ve come up with this helpful checklist to get you started:
- Check window and door seals
- Check insulation
- Inspect your loft and roofline
- Replace old glazing with new double glazing
- Upgrade to modern uPVC or aluminium doors
If you have picked up on any urgent window, door, or extension issues along the way, like gaps, leaks, or cracks, put some of that unspent holiday fund to good use with expert glazing replacements from DW Windows.
Boost Your Home’s EPC Rating
Notably, boosting the energy performance of your home by raising your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to an ultra-efficient A or B rating can also potentially boost your sale price by as much as 14%! It’s interesting to note that the West Midlands experienced the 2nd highest monetary increase from an improved energy efficiency rating, where the average property value increased by £17,988! Furthermore, depending on the condition, 10% – 40% of energy loss in the home can be attributed to inefficient windows and doors. And with up to 25% lost through uninsulated roofs, can you afford not to replace your glazing and roofline this winter?!
Invest In A New Double Glazed Extension
At a time of year when the enjoyment we get from spending time outside is considerably reduced when it’s freezing cold or pouring down with rain, a fully insulated conservatory, orangery, Livin Room extension or conservatory roof replacement still allows you to appreciate outside spaces in absolute warmth, comfort, and peace. On par with the stress relief experienced from a well-deserved holiday, a well-built glazed extension could increase your home’s value by 5-15%, too! Complete the look with modern bifold doors, sleek sliding patio doors or classic French doors, and relish future staycations in absolute style without ever having to leave your home comforts behind!
