A small survey by a bank suggests that almost 100% of buy to let investors surveyed have received requests from tenants for some form of sustainable feature in the past 12 months.
Handelsbanken commissioned research in March 2024 through independent research company Pureprofile among a panel of 200 property investors across the UK.
According to the findings, 92% of investors reported tenants asking for sustainable features such as heat pumps, solar generation or EV chargers – with over a quarter (28%) requesting the latter.
