What insulation adds in N6
The realistic uplift

Averaged across 322 certificates in N6, the current rating of 64.2 could rise to about 73.8 out of 100. The estimated annual heating cost averages £568 now, and about £370 after the recommended work – an estimated saving of roughly £198 a year.
These are the register's own estimates, averaged across many homes; the figure for any one property depends on its fabric and how it is heated.
