A green mortgage rewards you for owning or upgrading an energy-efficient home. Lenders love properties that waste less energy, and so do buyers. That is why an EPC rating can open doors to lower interest rates, higher borrowing power, and attractive financial perks.
If your EPC rating is A, B, or a strong C, the deal gets even sweeter.

What Exactly Is a Green Mortgage?
A green mortgage is a home loan that offers financial benefits for:
• Buying an energy-efficient home
• Improving the EPC rating of a less-efficient property
• Meeting set sustainability criteria by lenders
These benefits range from reduced interest rates to cashback rewards. It’s like your home is getting a gold star for good behaviour.
Why Banks Care About EPC Ratings
Energy-efficient homes:
• Cost less to run
• Hold higher long-term value
• Come with fewer financial risks
• Are more environmentally responsible
Lenders are increasingly aligning with net-zero goals, so EPC ratings have become a key assessment factor.
In other words: greener home, greener wallet.
What EPC Rating Qualifies for Green Mortgages?
Most lenders offer incentives for homes with:
âś… EPC rating A
âś… EPC rating B
âś… High C ratings (depending on the bank)
Homes rated D, E, F, or G still have potential. Some lenders reward improvements if the rating rises by one or more bands after upgrades.
