The UK is gradually getting warmer — with projections showing a potential rise in average temperatures over the next century. Whilst this brings challenges, it also brings opportunities for how we design, buy, and future-proof our homes.
What does this mean for the property market?
🔹 Energy efficiency is becoming a top priority for buyers — well-insulated homes are already commanding stronger interest.
🔹 New builds and renovations are being planned with smarter ventilation, shading, and sustainable materials in mind.
🔹 Outdoor space and garden orientation are growing in importance as people plan for warmer, drier summers.
🔹 Areas like rural Lancashire remain highly desirable, offering space, lifestyle, and a strong community — with the bonus of being well-positioned to adapt.
As someone who spends every day speaking with homeowners and buyers in the Garstang and wider Lancashire area, I’m seeing more people thinking long-term. It’s not just about bricks and mortar — it’s about how a home fits your future.
We’d love to hear your thoughts — are you seeing sustainability and climate-readiness influence your decisions too?
