The “Green Deal” has been making headlines for months.

High profile Conservatives, including David Cameron and Grant Shapps, have talked about homeowners being entitled to spend up to £6,500 improving the energy efficiency of their home.

I have just spent two days at the Property Professional show in Birmingham, where it was great to meet lots of members and speak to people interested in joining our schemes.
