Consumers 'prefer to be environmentally-friendly'
The developers of an eco-housing project in Brighton recently stated that while people may be wary of being labelled "green", most people would prefer to live in an environmentally-friendly way.
Pooran Desai, founding director of Bioregional Quintain - the company behind the One Brighton development - told the Grand Designs Live show in Birmingham that the label "green" can be slightly off-putting for some consumers.
"Green can be a funny label but most of us would love to lead a lifestyle that doesn't do damage to the environment," said Mr Desai.
A surevy conducted by the Energy Saving Trust from August 2008 found that over half of UK homeowners would be willing to pay more for an eco-friendly home, while some 49 per cent claimed that estate agents did not put enough emphasis on a property's green features.
Furthermore, over 60 per cent of respondents wanted to see more guidance from estate agents on the expected running costs of a house.

I just wanted to thank you for your prompt and efficient service.
Having looked at a lot of websites, I was impressed by your low prices and very clear presentation. I didn't order directly via the web because we needed the boiler urgently and I wanted to phone to make sure it was available, and when I did that you responded very clearly, and then phoned back promptly to say it was available. Not long afterwards we received a call telling us what day it would be delivered, and it has arrived exactly as promised. Our plumber hasn't installed it yet, but I just wanted to thank you for the excellent way this order has been handled, at a very good price. This is particularly appreciated since it was fairly urgent.
