Conveyancing in Reading – Incentives for saving energy in your home

thermal imaging of houses in Reading Berkshire

Local authority searches by our Conveyancers in Reading have identified that heat seeking thermal imaging technology to detect homes wasting energy is being used. Around half of heat loss in a typical home is through the walls and loft and there are many homes in Reading where heat is escaping, leaving them cold or expensive to heat. Reading Borough Council is working with heat seekers to reduce heat loss in private homes across the town and help residents make their homes more energy efficient and save on bills.

The revolutionary technology can identify households that don't have cavity wall and/or loft insulation and are subsequently 'leaking' heat. The vehicle used is capable of assessing over 1,000 properties an hour by surveying on the move. It automatically detects the insulation condition of each property. Insulation is a very cost effective way to significantly reduce the amount of energy needed to heat a home. Grants and discounts are available to help Reading residents to save energy and money to make their homes more efficient.

This was of particular interest to buyers, Mr. and Mrs. A, in regards to the purchase of their new home on Liebenrood Road, Reading, Berkshire, RG30. Fridaysmove ’s Conveyancing Solicitor, Catherine Williams, handled the purchase Conveyancing on behalf of the couple. The buyers had a strong belief in the use of renewable sources and when it was identified that the home was not adequately insulated, it was their goal to have this completed before the winter when they purchased the home, as the previous owners had not taken advantage of the schemes offered by the council. There were also a number of tree preservation orders existing for the property, however these were not of great concern to the couple.

The house was valued at about £160,000. The estate agent was Parker’s Properties at 25-26 Market Place, Reading, Berks, RG1 2DG.
