Enquiries Surge for Energy-Efficient Homes Amid Fuel Cuts

Sam AllcockBy Sam Allcock21/09/20243 Mins Read

Pensioners in North East Lincolnshire are facing a winter fuel crisis, prompting a significant increase in enquiries for energy-efficient homes. With more than 57,000 pensioners in the region set to lose their winter fuel payments, the need for energy-efficient living options has become urgent.

Developer E5 Living UK reports a marked rise in interest in its new properties in Grimsby, which are specifically designed to minimise energy consumption. This comes in response to the Chancellor’s recent announcement regarding cuts to winter fuel payments, which will drastically reduce the number of eligible recipients. In North East Lincolnshire, the number of pensioners eligible for these payments will drop from 30,683 in 2022/23 to just 4,564. In neighbouring North Lincolnshire, the eligible figure is set to plummet from 34,797 to only 3,887, resulting in a total loss of support for 57,029 pensioners.

Kevin Stevens, the developer behind E5 Living, emphasised the company’s commitment to creating communities that meet the needs of an ageing population while addressing the dual challenges of rising energy costs and climate change. Stevens stated, “We’ve observed a significant increase in enquiries following the government’s announcement and we’re expecting even more following the vote in the Commons. There’s a growing awareness of how energy-efficient, adaptable homes can help mitigate rising living costs and support independent living as residents age.”

The demand for features that enhance safety and accessibility is also on the rise, with potential homeowners seeking upgrades that include universal design elements like pullout cabinets, additional lighting, non-slip flooring, and new eco-boilers. However, Stevens noted that the costs associated with retrofitting existing homes can often exceed the price of relocating to a new property. “Our sales teams are hearing this from residents who have recently moved in,” he added.

E5 Living’s current development project includes 78 homes in the first phase at Kings Park Village in Scartho Top. According to Stevens, the company’s agents at Spicerhaart are noting increased interest in homes that can adapt to residents’ changing needs over time. “Energy efficiency is just one part of the equation—accessibility and smart home features are also high on many buyers’ lists,” he remarked.

As the cuts to winter fuel payments loom, many residents are exploring long-term strategies to manage their energy costs while ensuring their homes can adapt to their evolving needs. For more information about energy-efficient and age-friendly housing options, residents are encouraged to reach out to their local housing authority or Age UK.

This shift in housing preferences reflects broader societal trends, as more individuals recognise the importance of sustainable living solutions in navigating the challenges posed by rising energy prices and an ageing population.
