The new government with a larger mandate augurs well for the economy.

We live in a world where the air is polluted, our natural resources are fast depleting and the threat of climate change is no longer just a warning but a stark reality. However, what is encouraging is that there is also an increasing awareness of the situation across the globe, and home buyers and investors in commercial properties are looking for energy efficient and environment-friendly structures.

This is recorded as one of the highest first quarter inflows since 2008.

One man’s simple residence can be another man’s villa, and vice versa. Your perspective has as much to do with the definition as does the opulence, location, architectural significance or other related factors of a particular property.
