Green Remortgages for Self Sufficient Properties
These environmentally friendly remortgages are available for people who wish to build or purchase more energy efficient properties.
Interestingly many of the green remortgages have received the seal of approval from the Home Builders Federation and conservation charity, WWF.
It has been said that achieving the government's hugely ambitious target of zero-carbon homes by 2016 will require a shift in public opinion and consumer attitudes. Therefore the publicity of environmentally friendly or green remortgages is on the rise. These are an exciting development which should help stimulate future demand for low-carbon homes.
The Following lenders are currently recognised as leading sustainable homebuilders:
- Crest Nicholson
- Taylor Wimpey
- Countryside Properties
- Berkeley Homes
NB: There are of course other Green Lenders as well as Green Homeowner Loan providers, and we will do our best to add them to the list as we become aware of them.
Always do your research on the green factors of the property as well as the green remortgage provider.
What are Sustainable Properties
Sustainable properties utilise renewable energy technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, and biomass heaters as opposed to the main stream energy solutions in today’s market place.
These are considered very effective alternatives to fossil fuels, dramatically reducing the properties carbon footprint and equally help the owners to meet their own energy requirements.
