What is a Green Mortgage?

According to UK Government National Statistics, residential properties make up 15% of the UK total climate emissions. At NatWest, we want to help to lower this and reward customers who are trying to do the same.

Green Mortgages reward your customers for purchasing an energy efficient home by offering a reduced rate on a 2 year or 5 year fixed rate mortgage, and they could also get cashback which will be paid to their solicitor on the day they drawdown their mortgage.

The offer is only available on selected mortgages marked with ‘Green Mortgage - Cashback’ and can be changed or withdrawn at any point. Max LTV 85%.

If your customers buy a UK home with a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of A or B they could be eligible to select a Green Mortgage product. Early repayment charges may apply.

Climate is at the heart of our purpose

We're setting out a new ambition to be a leading bank in the UK & RoI helping to address the climate challenge; by making our own operations net carbon zero in 2020 and climate positive by 2025, and by driving material reductions in the climate impact of our financing activity.

We're setting ourselves the challenge to at least halve the climate impact of our financing activity by 2030 and intend to do what is necessary to achieve alignment with the 2015 Paris Agreement.
