When beginning to invest in property, it is important to understand the environment you live in effects your social wellbeing. In this post, we will examine the Longhorsley case study and how its findings can help you create an environment that is organised and effective.
What is the Longhorsley case study?
The Longhorsley case study was conducted to investigate how the well-being (social welfare) of a population is determined by the environment that they live in. Social welfare relates to the quality of life of the population, not the standard of living, which is more economic.
Factors considered included the quality of built environment and the dereliction of buildings in the area, as well as the quality of the environment. Researchers examined two different UK towns (Wingrove and Longhorsley) to examine how the different environments affected the town’s population. Overall, the case study found that the people of Longhorsely live longer and were surrounded by a more appealing external environment that focused on eco-friendly family homes with new neighbourhood and commercial facilities, parks, and public open spaces.
So how can the findings of this case help you improve your home? It is clear that the state of you home can positively impact your social welfare in the long run, so here are our top tips for creating a more cohesive and efficient home environment.
Top Tips
Invest in Solar Energy
Solar energy is a sustainable and financially smart investment that will not only increase the market value of your property but create a healthier environment in your household.
Improved air quality – traditional energy sources such as coal or fossil fuels contribute to air pollution, which can lead to adverse health effects. By using solar energy, you are contributing to the reduction of air pollution, and in turn, creating a healthier environment to live in.
Increased market value – Due to the increased demand for solar energy, the demand for houses with pre-installed solar panels has also gradually increased. Overall, BOXT’s annual energy report discovered that the addition of solar panels to your home can actually increase its value by 14% on average.
Invest in Home Decor
Aesthetically pleasing interior and exterior home designs have been shown to be conducive with ease of living, as humans tend to generate more anxiety and stress in chaotic environments.
Invest in local companies to design and produce an aesthetically pleasing environment that can encourage serenity. Figure out colours, designs, and structures that make you feel the best and incorporate them into your home. Take a peek at the beautiful work of Domus Driveways and Patios, as a great example of exactly what the report explains.
In conclusion, the Longhorsley case study sheds light on how our daily environment affects our wellbeing. By emphasising eco-friendly practices, such as solar energy, and investing in aesthetically pleasing home décor that enhances your living conditions, we are able to use the findings from the case study to improve your daily life and welfare.
