I replaced/refurbed the ones in my old place at a cost of about £10k a year or two before I sold.
I doubt I got the price back as such but the previous windows were knackered with a few of them held together with duck tape so I suspect that leaving them in that state would have made the whole place harder to sell.
If they're knackered enough to make buying the place unattractive then I'd think about it. If they are just not great then I wouldn't bother. Or, if the rest of the place is amazing and they are standing out as not then I'd consider it.

We're thinking of moving out of London, but not sure when as it's dependent on finding a job, but it would probably be September 2023 at the earliest.
We have single glazed wooden window frames which need replacing.
Aside from the insulation and soundproofing benefits we'd enjoy until we sold the place, is this a daft thing to do, or is the £10-20k it would likely cost (it's a corner house with double bays) going to be money we'd be able get back from selling it?
