Prepare your home for winter to enhance comfort and increase its appeal to buyers. Experts from BRANZ identify windows, ceilings, and walls as primary heat loss areas in uninsulated houses. Prioritise checking roof and underfloor insulation and address air leakage from older windows and floorboards.
