Cook concluded: “We are excited by the release of this latest update, which is aimed at improving our Analyser user experience and supporting providers with unrivalled data coverage and accuracy.”

What gave rise to ‘green mortgages?

The rise in popularity for green mortgages can partially be attributed to the perks available for people whose home conform to high eco standards.

Banks and building societies are now offering loans which offer lower interest rates and various cashback offers to owners of energy-efficient properties.

The reason behind this initiative is to lower the UK’s total emissions that are created by housing and by cutting domestic emissions down could have a significant impact on global warming and the current climate-crisis faced worldwide.

Green mortgages are expected to become more and more commonplace since the government is applying pressure on mortgage companies to increase the proportion of energy-efficient homes they lend on.

Which new products will be on the market?

With mainstream and new lenders entering the Green Mortgages market, the new filter provides product comparison data for:

  • 252 Green Residential mortgages
  • 302 Green Buy-to-Let mortgages
