Appreciating the value
If you consider the various features of buildings, one that offers the most value is the windows. It is particularly true if they are original sashes with hundreds of years of history. They look stunning, especially if you compare to modern uPVC and other styles of window.
The downside is timber sash windows need more care. Wood is vulnerable to the weather and not as durable as other materials. The mechanism to open the sashes is also more complex than simple hinges. Therefore, you need to put in the work to maintain everything. If you don’t, they can detract from the value of your property.
What you should do here is take the time to check the windows regularly and do maintenance whenever necessary. It can ensure they look great and also reduces the risk of issues like draughts or rot developing.
