Green property
Green property investments focus on building and maintaining properties using environmentally friendly methods and materials. These properties are designed to reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, and minimise waste. Investing in green real estate not only helps in combating climate change but also offers cost savings over the property's lifecycle.
