Penny & Sinclair in Henley is offering to cover the cost of the first year of carbon offsetting for all new instructions received by the end of this month.

The estate agency has joined forces with Dinosaur, a carbon offsetting provider, in a bid to reduce carbon in the Oxfordshire town.

Every client who wants to take part will be introduced to Jonathan Taylor-Sabine, the founder of Dinosaur, who will discuss the most appropriate scheme for them.

Anyone willing to opt into the scheme will also be supporting one of three selected projects, in Laos, Australia and Peru, all of which will work towards removing carbon from the atmosphere.

James Donigan, director of Penny & Sinclair, said: “The whole process is simple and straightforward. All the information we need is contained within the Energy Performance Certificate.

“The partnership gives people a genuine understanding of their homes’ carbon footprint and a simple, cost-effective solution. We very much hope that other agents will offer the scheme to their own clients.”
