Sustainability on minds of home movers

Almost three-quarters of people are worried about the energy efficiency of their homes given the ongoing energy crisis, according to a recent survey by the Home Builders Federation (HBF).

The highest levels of concern are among females (81%), those aged 35-44 (86%) and those living in the social rented (82%) and private rented sectors (80%).

1 in 4 of those who are worried about their homes being energy efficient say that when they buy their next property, its energy efficiency will be crucial.

The most important sustainable home features considered to be: insulation (51%), double/triple glazed windows (50%), energy efficient appliances (39%) and a heat pump/ modern condensing boiler (21%). Source: Dataloft, Home Builders Federation
