Green Home Mortgages

ONLY FOR USE BY MORTGAGE INTERMEDIARIES

For residential and buy to let property purchases and remortgages with an energy performance rating of A or B

Putting climate at the heart of our purpose

According to the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, residential properties make up 16% of the UK total greenhouse gas emissions (UK Greenhouse gas emissions figures 2021). We want to help to lower this and reward customers who are trying to do the same.

Our ambition is for 50% of our mortgage base to have an EPC rating at or above C by 2030, to achieve alignment with the 2015 Paris Agreement.
