The min/max loan for the product is £5k/£100k and also offers cashback of 0.50% of the loan amount, which is paid on completion and has no arrangement fee.
Offer conditions will include a commitment to completing the energy upgrades.
Sam Ward, commercial director, said: “The green mortgage market has experienced increasing domestic demand over the past 18 months and, with the government keen to cut down emissions, launching these remortgage and further advance products is our initial response. We hope to incentivise more homeowners who have been looking for ways to improve their properties’ energy efficiency and reward them with strong products allied to a combination of cashback and/or fee assisted incentives.
“We are committed to a green strategy and if our products help people by making it easier to fund these improvements, then we all benefit in the long run.”
