Abstract This paper aims to examine how sustainable practices in the UK real estate industry are impacted by green investments through qualitative research, focusing on interviews with developers. The findings reveal that regulatory frameworks, market demand, financial incentives, corporate responsibility, and technological innovation crucial factors practices. There is a growing consumer demand for properties, supported incentives like grants, tax credits, finance mechanisms such as bonds. These bonds play role promoting building practices, including energy‐efficient design renewable energy integration. research highlights motivators stakeholders participate sustainability initiatives, benefits, compliance, reputation, despite challenges perceived higher costs hurdles. specific implications policymakers effective frameworks investors prioritize bonds, professionals enhance responsibility meet properties.
