This is my dream: To live as my forefathers once did - in harmony with the land that sustains us. A project to investigate and innovate the creation of a low impact home with methods of living in a form of permaculture designed to sustain my family and improve biodiversity. To leave the land richer than before and in doing so enable others to do so.

Green Real Estate in Thanet, Kent

Posted 12/06/08 by Matt B in the Online category

I have been looking recently at the issue of houses. Let's be honest - we all need somewhere to live and as such the real estate industry is likely to be with us for a good long time yet. While this is, no doubt, good for the economy it is not necessarily so good for the planet.

There is nothing that encourages the supply of ecologically balanced homes.

Take, for example, a very quick study I did of the search results for real estate in Thanet. Thanet is located in Kent (UK) and was recently awarded more blue flags (an indication of high quality beaches) than any other part of Britain. One would, therefore, expect the industry to be quite lively there.

The truth, it seems, is a little stranger. I ran a generic search term "real estate thanet" through the thanet finder search engine and then through Google before running it through the Green Moral Search engine (). The result was, on the whole, a bit limited but only in some ways.


There were some real estate results and plenty of blog results (I blog about Thanet and expected that) but what I did not see was any indication of specifically ecological, green or low impact properties.

There was also a lack of solid portal or dedicated property search sites. Those property search sites that did exist were somewhat lopsided in their representations. I wondered, for a while, why this might be.

I concluded that what my locality needs is a free portal for property search. My hope is that by providing it I might provide the groundwork for more variety - something that will bring greener properties by default as the competition hots up. The result should be that everyone benefits.

so if my popular locality needs such a thing where else is equally in need?
