2010 Sees Drop In Numbers Living In Fuel Poverty
Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>Fuel poverty has become a growing concern for millions of UK homeowners, but according to the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) there was a drop in the numbers living in fuel poverty between 2010 and 2009.
The DECC claim that there were around 4.75 million households living in fuel poverty in 2010, down on the 5.5 million who were faced with a similar situation in 2010. They put this drop down to a rise in incomes and better energy efficiency in the home.
However, although they estimate that figures for 2011 will more than likely indicate stabilisation, it is widely expected that projections for 2012 will show a rise in fuel poverty figures once prices rises at the end of 2011 are taken …

Household Energy Up By 71 Per Cent In A Decade
Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>If any further proof were needed of the impact energy bills have had on homeowners over the past 10 years then you need look no further than recent research carried out by Santander. The banking specialists have found that the average household energy bill has risen by 71% in a decade. This is remarkably double the speed at which inflation has increased.

Energy Companies Accused Of Neglecting Needy UK Households
Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>The rising cost of energy in the UK over the past few years has left thousands of less well-off homes desperately struggling to afford the cost of their heating bills.
Because of this, a scheme called the Community Energy Saving Programme was introduced in 2009 by the government which requires our major energy companies to offer energy efficiency measures for free or at a very low cost to households in deprived communities.
However, it has been reported that the Big Six energy firms look set to fail to meet their obligations and have asked that the deadline is put back. Shadow energy minister Caroline Flint has stated that this is simply unacceptable:
“Energy companies are failing to keep their side of the deal and help …
Housing Costs Continue To Go Up
Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>Despite aspirations to own a home, several thousand people in the UK remain unable to afford to buy a property, and those who do now face a mountain of bills to own, run and maintain one. The Halifax have calculated that the costs associated with owning, running and maintaining a home now amount to almost £10,000 a year, the highest level since 2008.
This will come as a surprise to many when you consider that mortgage repayments are down to one of their lowest levels in years. However, one of the key contributors to this hike in household costs can be put down to the rise in gas and electricity bills as they are responsible for nearly 90 per cent of the total increase over …

Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>The worst-case scenario for a homeowner who puts their home on the market is for it to remain unsold months or even years down the line, particularly if you already have your eye on another home. You need to make sure your home is as appealing as possible to buyers so that they are inclined to make an offer rather than give it short shrift.
Here are just a few ideas of how you can make your home irresistible:
Garden
