Improvements for selling your home during the winter seasons
AI summary
Prepare your home for winter by tackling heat loss and draughts. Experts at BRANZ identify windows, ceilings, and walls as primary sources of heat loss, with older homes suffering from air leakage.
Start by checking and upgrading roof and underfloor insulation. For immediate impact:
- Seal gaps around doors, windows, and skirting boards
- Address heat loss from older recessed downlights
- Perform regular maintenance like cleaning gutters
These improvements create a cosier, healthier home and add significant value for potential buyers.
