Making improvements to your home could help you save more than £1,500 in 2023, according to new research.

Because of rising mortgage rates and home prices, UK homeowners are investing in their existing houses rather than moving.

The phrase ‘sustainable home’ has risen in popularity and is now among the 10 most searched-for terms when it comes to home renovations in the UK.

With this in mind, Post Office Personal Loans set out to identify the most efficient smart home improvements to consider – to help homeowners estimate how much they can save when renovating.

The research discovered eco-friendly improvements that are most likely to lower energy bills and calculated the potential amount of money that can be saved when installing them.

These included installing solar panels, smart meters and thermostats, and floor insulation made the list of most efficient investments.

Statistics reveal over 2.2 million smart homes in the UK, with 52 per cent of Brits claiming that saving money on their bills was the best main motivation for adding eco home improvements to their property.
