Expert comment
Tell buyers to look beyond the energy-bill headline
A claimed 40% saving is not a promise every household can rely on, because actual costs depend on the home and how it is heated.
Expert comment angle: Offer this consumer-focused view to personal finance and property journalists, stressing that buyers should check a home’s specific running costs rather than assume one figure applies to all.
Why: It adds a practical, buyer-centred caveat to a striking claim that could otherwise sound universal.
