Estate agents have been urged to underline the energy-saving qualities of new green homes in the UK.
According to property portal thinkproperty.com, more people are becoming aware of the significance of green homes and their lower levels of carbon emissions.
Research carried out by the firm indicated that 70 per cent of homeowners polled would modify their property to make it more eco-friendly if the government offered incentives to do so.
Suzanne Deakins, head of group marketing at thinkproperty.com, pointed out that green homes are also likely to have higher monetary value.
"With budgets generally tight for home movers with rising energy prices, any evidence of lower energy bills or lower stamp duty could make a real difference to the sale of a property," she confirmed.
She added that over 80 per cent of respondents to her firm's survey had expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of leaders offering lower council tax or special mortgages for owners of green homes.
The recent introduction of Home Information Packs (Hips) served to further underline the economic and environmental advantages of the UK's green homes.
