ADDING VALUE TO MY HOUSE
Q Will adding solar energy panels to my house increase its value?
A With energy usage and conservation becoming ever more important the answer is probably yes. Some companies selling systems state that it does add value, ask them to justify this.
Solar energy isn’t new, but it hasn’t been fashionable for long, so some potential buyers might be sceptical as to its worth - have figures available to help convince them that it has saved you money.
Although HIP packs are no longer necessary for house sales - the Government does still ask for an energy performance certificate. This looks at aspects such as insulation and how much energy is used.
Installing photovoltaic panels will help boost your homes energy rating. Go to carbon info.org energy performance certificate - you can download an example of a certificate and more information.
