What is a green mortgage?
Green mortgages are a special type of mortgage offered by some banks and building societies to homeowners buying an energy efficient, environment friendly home.
Some lenders, including Natwest, Halifax, Barclays, Virgin Money, and Nationwide will reward you with a lower interest rate, cashback, or larger loans if your home is energy efficient.
Each lender will have its own criteria for its green mortgages, but lenders generally offer green mortgages on homes with an EPC rating of A or B.
