Energy-efficient homes sell faster

With electricity bills on every buyer's mind, homes with solar panels, good insulation and double-glazed windows are spending less time on the market.

Sellers who have made these upgrades should say so clearly: list them in the description, add a photo of the panels and keep recent bills ready to show.

Upgrades that pay back

• Roof insulation and sealed windows
• Solar water heaters
• LED lighting and efficient air conditioners
