Is it expensive to build an eco-house?

You might be surprised, most expect an eco home to cost more to build than your average home. But in reality, according to a report released by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the costs add less than 2% to the whole build.

Do you need planning permission for an eco-house?

Planning permission is required for any building, eco homes included. You may find that getting planning permission for an eco home is easier than a standard home. When looking at granting permission, authorities will want to know the location, possible building materials and look of your home. An eco home specialist will know what will be required and can help ensure this part of the project runs smoothly.

Do eco homes hold their resale value?

Eco homes are known to hold their resale value and in some cases sell better than traditional homes. This is due to the cheaper energy bills from an eco home with features such as higher quality insulation, and renewable energy sources such as solar and ground source heat pumps. As demand continues to grow for eco homes, their resale value is expected to remain strong.
