IH 46 Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, February 8th, 2007 Eco-friendly homes


are fine, but they can come at a price


AN estimated 84% of people from the North West dismiss being eco friendly at home as simply too expensive. A further one in ten (9%) claim to have


no interest in making their homes more ecologically sound, according to the ‘Trends for Living" report released by the Ideal Home Show. The report, which takes a look at cur­


rent and future trends in the nation’s homes, also found that only a tiny frac­ tion (6%) of those from the North West are dedicated to making their homes as eco friendly as possible what ever the cost. While many of us claim to do our bit by recycling (89%) and three quarters of us (79%) prevent energy wastage with an insulated lofts, only a quarter (24%) prevent electricity waste by turning plugs off and three quarters (71%) buy white goods based entirely on cost and not their energy rating. The report also found that over half of


us (61%) boil more water than we need each time we use the kettle and only a third (38%) have compost bins. However, it is not all bad as many of us


expect to be greener in the future. Half of Brits (45%) believe they will have installed their own solar panels or wind turbines within the next 10 years. The report also predicts that “Eco-


Dec", or furnishings made out of sustain­ able, recycled and recyclable materials as well as the use of eco-friendly paint and wallpaper will be the hottest interiors trend of 2007. Caroline Carr, marketing director for


the Ideal Home Show said: “We com­ missioned this report to understand more fully how people live in their homes and its interesting to see we focus on cost over eco considerations, especially as house sellers will need an energy effi­ ciency rating as part of their Home Improvement Pack from June 1st. ‘This year, the Ideal Home Show will showcase the latest in ecological think­ ing in furnishing, housing and architec­ ture. Visitors can experience the future of sustainable living, and we’ ll have experts from many different fields on hand to help us all become a bit greener at home.” The Ideal Home Show’s eco warrior,


TV presenter and author, Oliver Heath, said: “It’s not just about recycling. Using energy saving light bulbs and buying white goods with ‘A’ energy ratings is important. These products will save you money in the long run as they are more efficient. Also try to avoid petra chemi­ cals like nylon or acetates. Instead go for natural materials like unbleached cotton, wool, felt or cork.” The Trends for Living report from the


Ideal Home Show polled people from around the UK on a range of subjects relating to their homes and how they live. A panel of 500 interior designers


working in the UK were also questioned. It identifies key themes and trends in UK homes from the colours we love and the gadgets we want to our attitudes to eco­ logical issues.

Specialists in country homes


THE first Fine and Country office opened in Lancashire was given official backing by the High Sheriff of Lancashire, Mr Peter Robinson, at the launch, pictured above, of a specialist business specialising in the sale of exclusive and country homes in the Ribble and Hodder Valleys. More than 200 people attended


the official launch of the offices owned by Mortimers Chartered Surveyors at their Whalley office where visitors saw the latest in technology for marketing Fine and Country homes including glossy regional magazines and virtual tours and slide shows presented on a large flat screen television in the specially designed marketing suite. Director of Fine and Country Ian Lloyd says that this is a refreshing


approach to marketing and selling exclusive homes combining indi­ vidual flare and attention with the local expertise of independent estate agency to create a strong national network with a very pow­ erful marketing ability. Fine and Country create brochures for clients that really do sell property, designing property details that sur­ pass those of rivals bringing clients homes to life and enhancing the character and location and the lifestyle for all types of prospective buyers. Experience has proven the


value of regional marketing, since a high proportion of potential pur­ chasers are coming in from out of the area. Clients benefit from regional advertising and marketing from regular presence in the national news trade including the


Clitheroe Advertiser and Times and the increasingly important country lifestyle magazines. Fine and Country magazine is sold through all leading newsagents and brings together a wealth of experience and know-how with national marketing options that can be suited to individual property requirements. Fine and Country Head Office in Park Lane, Mayfair, London is amongst the best placed estate agents offices in Europe attracting clients from all over the world and together with coverage in the Sunday Times and national newspapers offering probably the most extensive advertising section in the UK. Inquiries for country homes in


the Ribble Valley are at an all time high and current supply cannot meet demand.


Neighbours are usually nice, friendly people


“NEIGHBOURS from Hell” make for eye­ catching headlines, but new research shows that nearly 90% of homeowners think they have a good relationship with the people next door. The research on homeowner attitudes towards their neighbours, published by the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), also shows that Northern neighbours are the friendliest. Enlisting the services of an independent


Antiques fair date


COLLECTORS will converge on Stonyhurst College from Friday, February 16th until Sunday, when the Hurst Green venue hosts its latest three-day Antiques Fair. It is being organised by Galloway Antiques Fairs, which has been running two events a year at the col­ lege for the past 12 years. As usual there will be a wide array of items for sale from the 30 or so dealers exhibiting, including furniture, porcelain, silver, glass, jewellery, paintings, maps and prints and many deco­ rative items. The fair is open from 10-30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all three days. Pictured are two bronzes by Sefient (right), priced


at £2,400, and by Andreas, priced at £2,200, which are among hundreds of items on offer at the Stony­ hurst College Antiques Fair, (s)


research company, the NAEA surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,243 adults across the UK. The research covered subjects such as


relationships between neighbours, how peo­ ple rate their home against their neighbours’ and the home features they are most proud of. The results showed: O Good neighbours dominate UK commu­


nities - the issue of nuisance neighbours was high on the agenda in 2006 as the Govern­ ment launched its “Respect” campaign amid continued publicity surrounding anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs). Home Secretary John Reid unveiled new measures to tackle “neighbours from hell" and noisy neighbours were highlighted as a major issue when a sur­ vey conducted for Noise Action Week reported half-a-million people had been forced to move home in the previous 12 months due to noise. With many of these stories seeming to spell


doom and gloom for UK communities, the lat­ est NAEA research reveals the general picture to be far more positive. An encouraging 89% of the survey respondents said they have a good relationship with their neighbours, with 39% of those describing the relationship as “very good”. Only 5% said the relationship with their neighbours was “not good", while 6% said they did not know their neighbours at all. O Northern neighbours are friendliest - the friendliest neighbours are found in the North East, according to the survey, with 95% of respondents there stating that they had a “quite good” or “very good” relationship with their neighbour. Historically, London has been deemed one of the least friendly areas, due to a high population turnover and large number of buy-to-let properties, yet 83% of Londoners reported a good relationship with their neigh­ bours. Wales saw the largest fluctuation between good and bad relations. While 48% said they had a “very good” relationship - the highest percentage recorded across all the regions - Wales also had the highest number of unfriendly neighbours, with 11% stating that their relationship was “not good”. 9 A nation of proud homeowners - the sur­


vey also revealed the UK to be a nation of proud homeowners, with 84% of respondents believing their home is of the same standard or superior to their neighbours’. When asked


which of their neighbours’ home features they were most envious of, 55% of respondents replied they were not envious of any at all. Northern Irish homeowners proved to be the most houseproud, with 29% believing their property to be superior to neighbouring homes. Those living in the South East were second in line at 25%, while Londoners came third with 23% claiming to be particularly proud of their property.


9 Good neighbours make for strong securi­


ty - Peter Bolton King, chief executive at the NAEA, commented: “It’s great to see that rela­ tionships between neighbours are so strong across the UK. Society has changed drastical­ ly In recent years: increased commuting, the growing trend towards second home owner­ ship and the rise of the single person house­ hold have all led to more spending less time at home. This not only makes building rela­ tionships with neighbours more difficult, but also increases security risks. In these cases it is more important than ever to know and to trust the people living in the local area. “Getting a neighbour to watch your house if


you re going away, for example, is always a good idea. Having a good relationship with your neighbours can be as simple as stopping


to say ‘hello’ in the morning to inviting them over for dinner.
