The supply of homes across the country is improving

"We have to better align the demand for walkable housing with the available supply and ensure that our regulatory reform efforts address this significant gap in the broader housing supply & demand story."

If you’re one of the 7.7 million UK homeowners living in a property with solid walls, you might think affordable home insulation is out of reach. It’s true that the cost gap between cavity wall and solid wall insulation is significant, but that doesn’t mean there’s no funding available for it. In fact, both the ECO4 and GBIS government funding schemes cover internal and external wall insulation, and there’s a good chance you’ll be eligible for one or the other. The UK’s roadmap to net-zero means no property should be left behind, even if it’s built of solid stone and poses a challenge to traditional insulation. If you’d like to know what financial support is available for home insulation - solid walls or otherwise - get in touch and we’ll be happy to talk you through your options. #insulation #energysaving #netzero https://lnkd.in/eaQd-V9E

With over 50% of the UK housing stock having an EPC rating of D or below, it’s crucial that we look at overcoming barriers and do the necessary improvements to become homes of the future. Really insightful conversations. Barriers are categorized as: • Knowledge: Tools like energy efficiency calculators and expert advice to improve awareness. • Preparedness: Services such as “Energy Experts” offering comprehensive home health reports. • Installation Cost: Financing solutions like flexible payment plans. • Running Cost: Products designed to lower long-term costs. • Supply Chain: Partnerships to reduce barriers to decarbonization. • Hassle: Simplified remortgaging options for home upgrades. Bigger Picture: Encourage industry-wide collaboration, systemic solutions, and thought leadership for broader impact rather than isolated actions. #sustainablehomes #newbuildhomes #retrofitting #thegreenmortgagesummit Matt Coulson Richard Merrett Adrian MacDiarmid Rachel Buxton Charles Roe Justin Fear Emma Fletcher MRICS Countrywide Surveying Services no 1 supporter of sustainable homes, New Builds and our lender partners.

SB 9 Refresh: SB 9 helps streamline the process for creating an additional ADU/duplex on an existing property. That means you can build an ADU in your backyard, or even convert part of your house into a separate unit. And thanks to this bill, the approval process is much faster. Homeowners can divide their property into two lots and build up to two houses on each lot. What this means for homeowners: - A way to earn extra income each month - Increasing your property's overall value - A guest house that can be used for events or emergencies - Sustainable living and helping the housing market in California The bill also includes protection for existing tenants.
