Eco Homes Are Still Selling Despite Credit Slump
We all know about the current credit slumps and the way people are staying away from buying any sort of property at the moment. Its great to see that the ECO new homes are still selling and going as strong as ever. Only recently there was 6 family sized homes that were built in Surrey, these homes have already been sold and I can assure you they were not going for cheap prices.
These houses were built specifically for the environment they consist of low energy lighting and appliances, aswell as the whole house is heated via ground source heat pumps. It just goes to show that ECO friendly objects and items will always be around even when a credit cruch is just around the corner.

OMG there is no where else to say this… please, moderater, move this to a more appropriate place..
Every now and again something stirs me to action.
Usually its sex.
This decade its the issue of Green belt Encroachment.
I suppose I am so concerned because this is going to affect our quality of life so much but I believe the issue affects us all, in the UK especially, in the end.
When we moved to Cotgrave three years ago we were struck by how the village had kept a wonderful friendly rural nature despite a newer estate that brought the population to nearly 7,000. OK, it Cotgrave “Town”, but there is no market, no bus station, no trains, just a couple of pubs, a terrific leisure centre , welfare club, three churches and a shopping centre. Oh. And a Post Office. Look us up on Google Earth.. its a peculiar set up.
Now its under threat.
The original small village and the sprawling coal mining generated 60’s estate is surrounded by countryside on all sides. Its an odd concoction; acres of housing surrounding an ancient, Norman village supported by the original and some 60,s infrastructure. There is a police station but it is likely to be closed at times. No fire service… no ambulance service or hospital, but a medical centre of excellence… coping.
Look, ther’s lots more to say but I could I ask you to look at this site?
http://CotgraveActionGroup.co.uk
It puts forward the voice of so many in the village.
You may have a swift responce…
“Well people need somewhere to live!”
My questions are “What people.. declining? Who will buy? Why on Green Belt? Why build based on the wrong figures? Why not use existing empty homes? Why…” oh just go look for your selves. Knock us down in flames if you want. I have yet to hear of anyone at all supporting this rape of our land. A smidgin of argument would be refreshing!
I mean this… NO one yet has given me a good arguament as to why our valuable green belt land needs to be destroyed forever! No one has even tried!
I am not sorry to have bothered you with this. Its an issue that affects us all and should be addressed NOW before the contempt in which governments hold their electorates, well, gets worse!
The Cotgrave Action Group was inspired by the perceived experiences of a friend who, after leaving his village (clad only in a loin cloth and wode) in North Lincs years ago has returned yearly to visit relatives and watched, in lapse time, total destruction of the integrity of the community and settlement. The area is now an estate, formless and without soul. Divided enough from the City to have to make its own way. The infrastructure has been raped to such a degree that it is near collapse and no one wants responsibility. All character has disappeared as the estate grew. Many houses are unoccupied. It is a village estate without hope of market development and an estate agent’s nightmare.
