Hello all. I live in a 1975 town housey type terrace and am thinking of moving in the next year to 18 months. Problem is, my windows are knackered. a couple of panes are cracked and all the frames need cleaning, filling and repainting. They are also made up of lots of little panes of glass so the whole job would be a nightmare and I'd probably need to get someone in to do it. I've read that you are unlikely to recoup your investment on double glazing in the short term but, given the state of my current windows, does anyone feel I'd be making a mistake not replacing them or should I just flog the bugger and be done? The rest of the house is nice, so would the windows be dragging the place down a bit? Since it's a small terrace there aren't many windows to replace so (though I don't know yet) I don't think it would be hideously expensive to do, but I'm not going to do it just for the benefit of the new owners. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
