Green Mortgages | Rewards and Benefits

Mortgage lenders are starting to recognise their “Green” responsibilities when it comes to the different products they offer. Take a look below:

• Virgin Money - offers a better interest rate on new-build homes with an EPC rating of A or B, where your loan-to-value (LTV) is 85% or less. Current borrowers can get £250 cashback if borrowing to make "green" home improvements.
• Halifax - will give £250 cashback if you are buying or remortgaging a property with an A or B EPC rating. They will also give up to £2,000 if borrowing funds to improve the energy efficiency of the home. 
• NatWest offers a better interest rate if you buy or remortgage a property with an EPC rating of A or B and an LTV of 85% or less.
• TSB - will give £250 cashback if buying a house with an EPC rating of A or B. 
• Barclays - offers a better interest rate with an EPC rating of A or B (buying directly from the builder or developer). Existing customers can receive up to £2,000 return if borrowing funds to make green improvements to the home. 
• Nationwide - will give £500 if buying a property with an "A" rating, or £250 with a "B" rating. They will also allow you to borrow £5,000 and £20,000, interest-free on a two or five-year fixed deal if making "green" improvements to your home. 
• Co-operative Bank - offers a better rate if buying a property with an EPC rating of A or B on an 80-95% LTV.
• Leeds Building Society - offers a better interest rate to existing mortgage holders and wants to borrow more funds to make "green" home improvements.
• Coventry Building Society - will give existing customers lower interest rates when borrowing up to £25,000 for energy efficiency improvements (borrowers must use at least half of the additional funds for improvements).
