ABOUT US

Who are we?

Find an EcoHome.co.uk is a young company, launched in December 2007.

Our service allows developers, estate agents and individuals to buy, sell, let and rent EcoHomes online.

What is classed as an EcoHome?

Adapting existing standards, we have produced a set of minimum criteria to ensure a quality of EcoHomes.

Homes must exhibit healthy, accessible or eco-friendly characteristics to be included, and our simple minimum criteria checker makes it quick and easy to find out whether a home qualifies.

What can we offer developers?

National building regulations and housing targets are placing the onus upon developers to develop more healthy, accessible and eco-friendly homes.

Find an EcoHome.co.uk appeals directly to people who are looking for these types of homes, and allows developers to gain from building them by providing potential buyers with clear information about their benefits.

This more targeted and thorough marketing will hopefully, in turn, increase the speed of sales and the market value.

You can visit our Developers' Portal, where we have collected a number of links you may find useful.

What can we offer Estate Agents?

Find an EcoHome.co.uk provides a quick, easy and effective way for Estate Agents to become part of this key emerging market.

The public are becoming ever-more aware of sustainability - 73% of people consider resource efficiency important in choosing their next home (Sponge Network/Ipsos MORI, 2007).

The service allows Estate Agents to advertise homes for their clients in a way which maximises upon their healthy, accessible and eco-friendly characteristics.

What can we offer individuals?

• Serious sales: People viewing your EcoHome get the full picture and can make a more educated decision regarding their level of interest.


• Putting you in control of your home: Home is where the heart is, and it can be a frustrating prospect to lose control of your EcoHome for this reason. We allow you to edit and update your listing as many times as you wish, providing you with statistics and feedback along the way.

What else do we offer?

• Statistics: We offer sellers and landlords full statistics for their listings. If your property isn't getting interest, we want to know why and what we can do to get things moving.


• Viewer feedback: We allow viewers to provide you with direct feedback on what they think of your property. Users who have feedback for the website itself can provide direct feedback to us here.


• Ethical actions: We understand the importance of acting in a manner which causes the smallest negative impact environmentally, and the biggest positive impact socially. Our vision is for people to find and transact properties with speed, convenience, control and pride.


• Full specification: allow your property to really shine with a full specification of characteristics, features and local amenities. The little things can often clinch the deal, and giving a fuller picture allows more serious interest and bids.

Our Core Values

We believe: -

• ...that people should be able to buy and sell properties with speed, convenience, control and pride.
  
  
• ...that homes which are healthy, accessible and ecologically friendly places to live should have a greater value, created by informing buyers of their potential benefits.
  
  
• ...that homes should receive the interest they deserve and where this is not the case, that steps should be taken to assess ways to increase their appeal to potential buyers.
  
  
• ...in providing clear, transparent and accessible information relating to our products and services.
  
  
• ...in forming relationships with other companies offering genuinely sustainable products and services that would benefit our clients.
