Investing in home improvements can boost properties' as they often result in updated environmental credentials, it has been suggested.

According to consumer advice specialists at Best Syndication, new double glazing, doors and windows in older houses in particular can ultimately benefit owners.

Such features attract buyers interested in pre-furnished properties which offer opportunities for economic and environmental efficiency, noted the publication.

It went on to point out that with home improvements, "the increase in value of [a] house may be more than the initial cost of the expansion or enhancement" originally purchased.

The advice team concluded that a growing number of prospective homebuyers feel "affection" towards properties which boast energy-saving features, as they often cut the cost of fuel bills in the long term.

In a recent survey carried out by renovation specialist Architect Your Home, it was suggested that individuals also shell out on home improvements in a bid to avoid the 'dead money' - such as stamp duty and legal fees - associated with moving.

With Energy Efficiency windows supplied as standard, homeowners can now save even more on their heating bills and reduce their carbon footprint. Visit the Safestyle website to see a range of top quality double glazed uPVCreplacement windows to suit your home
