AERIAL MAP

It’s up to all of us to make a difference. Whether it’s recycling with the help of the local authority or using an alternative energy source, it’s easy for everyone to do their bit (for information on anything from environmental health to pollution and recycling, the local authority’s website should help).It’s also important to know whether or not your potential new home is at risk of being flooded, so we’ve included info on that too. And finally, you’ll see just how energy-efficient this particular property is – together with a few suggestions as to how it can be improved.Recycling at homeEasy to do and resulting in less waste being sent to landfill, recycling is actively encouraged by the local council. They’ll be able to provide you with recycling bins and boxes, a timetable of kerbside collection dates and more. Here are the details for contacting them, and of the nearest recycling centre.Recycling naturallyOther useful ways of recycling include composting food waste and reducing water usage by fitting a water but to downpipes. Many local authorities have special schemes (including discounted products) to encourage both – just call them for details.Water metersAnother way to save water is by having a water meter – which can cut bills by as much as £200 a year. The general rule is if there are more bedrooms than people in a house, it’s worth having one; alternatively, the local water company can provide a ‘calculator’ to help work out how much might be saved in a particular property. Alternative energy

With 40% of Europe’s wind energy flowing over Britain, it could be worth fitting a domestic wind turbine. It’s one of the greenest sources of energy available, and through feed-in tariffs you get paid for any energy you generate even if you use it. What you don’t use can be exported to the local grid (you get paid for that too!) – and you can store energy in batteries for when there is no wind.

The Energy Saving Trust estimates you need an annual average wind speed of 6m/s or more to make a turbine effective, with no major obstacles nearby (such as buildings, trees or hills) to reduce the speed or cause turbulence. The average wind speed for this area is m/s

Energy Performance CertificateThe Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is designed to help people understand a home’s energy efficiency and its impact on the environment. It uses a rating system from A to G, A being most energy efficient. A qualified energy assessor creates the EPC, which shows the home’s current rating and some effiiciency recommendations.

Every property marketed for sale or rent is required to have an EPC, which is always accompanied by a report listing various recommendations together with the potential improvements to the building’s energy rating.
