A brand new survey has shown that a significant amount of renters in Ireland have had their ability to buy a home impacted by the current cost of living crisis, particularly the current high costs of electricity and gas.
According to the survey of 2,509 people, conducted in late February by leading property website MyHome.ie, six in ten people said that the high cost of conventional utilities means they will plan to power their home with renewable energy.
Furthermore, around three-quarters of prospective homebuyers said that they were more inclined to think about a property’s Building Energy Rating (BER) as higher energy costs have made them more concerned about sustainability.
