Green credentials could add £22k to property prices

Greener homes could be worth £22,000 more on average, according to a recent study. Property experts predict that homes with sustainable features such as electric vehicle chargers and solar panels will command a higher premium than those without in 10 years' time. They will be worth on average 9% more when sold, according to a study of estate agents by Hive. With new legislation coming into force in 2030, banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars, new buyers are increasingly looking to future proof their homes. As the nation prepares to go electric, estate agents have already started to see a surge in houses that are EV friendly. Four in five (82%) stated a rise in customers searching for homes with an EV charging point already installed.
