As the UK economy moves towards being a net-zero emitter by 2050, the impact of the housing sector moves further into the spotlight. But do homebuyers know (and care) about green mortgages?<\/p>\n

New research1<\/sup> presents a mixed picture. While one in five Brits would not consider buying a house with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) below grade C, six million2<\/sup> UK homeowners don’t even know\u00a0 what their EPC rating is.<\/p>\n

Each lender\u2019s criteria will differ, but typically green mortgages offer a discounted rate or cashback if a property has an EPC rating of A or B.<\/p>\n

Currently, around two thirds of owner-occupied homes have an EPC rating below C, leaving vast room for improvement.<\/p>\n
