The Rise of the Eco Property in the UK

High Levels of Insulation 

If a property is well insulated, it becomes more energy efficient as it’s easier and cheaper to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. Eco property developers will often build with airtight double or triple glazed windows to reduce the need for energy usage through central heating.

Heating From Renewable Sources 

Many eco-friendly homes will feature technology that allows the property to be heated through renewable energy sources such as air source heat pumps.

Air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps absorb heat from the outside air or ground and use it to heat the property and provide hot water.

Over the years, the popularity of eco property and eco-friendly houses in the UK has risen. In the UK, the highest number of eco-friendly properties for sale can be found down South in cities like London.

However, in a bid to introduce more eco developments to the North West region, property developer Nexus has launched ‘ELEMENT’, a scheme which will see new build eco property developments created in top UK cities like Liverpool. One upcoming eco-friendly housing project, ELEMENT – The Quarter, will be Liverpool’s first-ever eco-development.

According to the Guardian, there are now more than 30,000 eco-home projects in the pipeline. In the Future Homes Standard plans set out by the Conservative government, all new homes being built in the UK aim to be ‘zero-carbon-ready’ by at least 2025.
