Property owners have expensive decision to make
New building regulations mean the cost of major home improvements is set to rise significantly.
The current turbulent state of the housing market has led to many home owners choosing the often more cost effective option of improving, rather than moving. Unfortunately home owners planning to take this route are in for an expensive surprise from 1st October 2010 onwards, when the current Building Regulations are updated. Help is at hand though, as Hazlemere Windows is highlighting, there is one last opportunity for consumers to get their hands on less expensive double glazing; as long as they order before the end of September 2010.

30th September 2010 Deadline To Order Products
In May 2010, the UK Government published new revised upgraded Building Regulations for existing and new dwellings in England and Wales, which included documents L1A, L1B, L2A and L2B. Hazlemere Window Company is keen that existing customers and existing UK property owners are aware of the crucial changes to Part L, particularly as all UK property owners only have until 30th September 2010 (as long as they are installed by 5th April 2011) to order windows and doors that comply with the current Building Regulations, as most double glazing in the marketplace does not meet the new Part L standards that come into force on 1st October 2010.

These included L1A, L2A, L2B and the most important one for existing UK property owners, L1B entitled "Conservation of fuel and power in existing dwellings" as it contains major changes from 1st October 2010. The main aim of the new higher level of compliance is to legally obligate England and Wales's home owners and landlords to fit high performance energy efficient energy saving windows and doors should they after 1st October 2010 want to a) replace any existing windows and/or doors, b) have an extension or c) build new premises.
