What energy efficient features do you want in your next home?

With the government’s payments towards our energy bills having ended earlier this year, it’s easy to see why more and more of us are becoming increasingly focused on saving energy. If you’re planning to move home in the coming months, do you focus on energy efficiency in the properties you’re viewing around Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch?

If so, what specifically do you look for? Or perhaps you’re intending to put your property on the market in the not-too-distant future and are wondering whether it’s worth spending money on improving the energy efficiency of your home?

Well, according to an article for Wales Online, there are some features that home buyers are on the lookout for when they’re carrying out viewings. At the top of the list, based on a survey conducted by Purplebricks, is double glazing, with over half of prospective buyers looking for this feature.

Next up is loft insulation, followed by a high energy-efficiency rating for the property overall, an efficient gas boiler and, rounding off the top five, cavity wall insulation.

But even if you fall in love with a property that doesn’t have those features, you could always opt to install them yourself before you move in properly. When you’re having work done on your home, the last thing you want is for all of your possessions to run the risk of getting covered in dust, or even damaged if you should have a DIY mishap.

So, if you are already moving house, why not have the work done in your first few weeks and put the majority of your belongings into secure, clean and weatherproof storage – just like our units in Winton!

At Removals Unlimited we pack, move and store, so we can genuinely take care of a lot of this hassle for you. Our full packing service means we carefully put all of your belongings in boxes and label them accordingly. Of course, our team of experienced removals professionals will take all of your possessions and furniture out of your current abode and can either unload them in your new home or a secure storage unit.

We can even do the move from your storage unit into your new home once the work you’re having done has been completed! What could be easier?

As Which? recently noted, hiring a removals company to do the heavy lifting really can help reduce your stress levels on moving day, and that’s even more true if you’re going to be moving into a property that needs work doing to it, whether to make it more energy efficient or otherwise.

Every person on our team takes great pride in their work and wants to make moving a joyful and stress-free experience for as many of our clients as possible.
