Windows: worth looking into

Article Abstract:

It is important to think very carefully before investing in replacement windows. Those considering doing so should be aware that PVC windows will almost certainly not boost the value of their home if it is an older property. Indeed, plastic windows may even reduce the value of a house in many parts of London, England, as potential purchasers are attracted to original features. It can take many years before reduced heating bills balance out the cost of replacement windows.
