We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "House Prices",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Replacement Door and Window Market UK 2008- 2012 from
AMA Research, which we summarised at the time by saying "AMA Research will publish the report with detailed review of developments within the domestic replacement sector, with interpretation of trends and their implications for the future".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release GBP300 mud house in Birmingham city centre from
McCann Erickson: "As part of the Festival of Xtreme Building, curator Dave Pollard will build a structure that is not only habitable but also has a zero-carbon footprint, for under GBP300 - predominantly from soil".
In July 2007, we covered the news from IRT Surveys
concerning its IRT Energy Rating software
- take a look at Global interest as Dundee firm hails world first
which says: "IRT Energy Rating software analyses infrared photography - measuring CO2 emissions, energy consumption and providing a financial cost for the energy being used".
Take a look also at the news release from British Property Federation, Windfall tax on the uplift in land value,
as well as Construction sector poised for buoyant 2007 from Lloyds TSB,
and Research shows National Forest boosts local pride from Forestry Commission.
