What is a “green mortgage”?

This type of mortgage allows homeowners to benefit from preferential terms when purchasing a property that meets certain requirements. Often, these mortgages are available on new-build homes with high EPC ratings. However, if you have made energy-saving improvements to your home or renovated your property, you may be eligible on the basis that your new EPC rating is an A or B. It is important to note that some lenders will offer green mortgages on properties with an EPC rating of C.
