Homes that address current trends seem to be the new wave of the future. We have self-healing, earthquake proof homes in Spain and houses built out of trash in the UK… these are just a couple of examples of how home builders are adapting to the ever changing lives and the unpredicatable environment of the world around us.

f you're considering investing in property overseas, it pays to think ahead about risks that may not apply at home - so perhaps you should take a look at a self-healing earthquake-proof Greek villa? Meanwhile, us Brits may end up solving our growing landfill waste issues by building homes from rubbish. A high-tech villa designed to resist earthquakes by 'self-healing' cracks in its own walls and monitoring vibrations through an intelligent sensor network will be built on a Greek mountainside.
