@carolinetaylor I found this video (https://www.ted.com/talks/catherine_mohr_builds_green?language=en) quite informative on the topic of whether it is worth demolishing a house and building a new one - spoiler alert, if you do it smartly it will pay itself off in six to ten years but if you do it wrong (taking steps most widely advocated by environmentalists it can take 50 years).
I can't remember where I came across it so apologies if this is a repost.
