“I have just improved the EPC rating of my buy to let property to C. Should I remortgage to get one of these new green mortgage deals?”
This is an inquiry I will definitely hear more often. Why?
It is likely that landlords of privately rented homes will be required to show an energy efficiency rating C with all new tenancies by 2025, and with every rented property by 2028.
As the Government keeps pushing for tightening the rules on energy efficiency ratings for private rentals it has also called on lenders to help incentivise green properties. Meanwhile, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has been fleshing out ideas for mortgage lenders becoming green influencers.
What can you as a landlord expect from some green mortgage offers currently on the market if your property’s EPC rating ranges between A and C?
Do you think these terms will encourage landlords to make green investments in their properties?
