Coventry for intermediaries has launched a new range of buy-to-let products aimed at landlords investing in more energy-efficient properties.

The products are available to both buy-to-let and limited company buy-to-let landlords and offer lower rates on properties with an EPC rating of A, B or C.

They are designed to support landlords purchasing or remortgaging homes that already meet higher energy efficiency standards.

The move comes as landlords continue to assess how to future-proof their portfolios against regulatory change and rising running costs, with energy performance increasingly central to long-term investment decisions.

HOW THE PRODUCTS WORK

To qualify, a property must hold a valid EPC rating of A, B or C, which Coventry for intermediaries will verify using the official government EPC register. For new-build purchases, landlords will need to provide a Predicted Energy Assessment.

The EPC-linked products are available for purchase and remortgage applications only.

Alongside the launch, Coventry for intermediaries has also made a small reduction to buy-to-let rates for existing customers, adding to what it says is an already competitive landlord proposition.

Jonathan Stinton, head of intermediary relationships at Coventry Building Society, said: “Landlords are increasingly looking for ways to future-proof their portfolios, and energy efficiency is a big part of that. By offering lower rates on properties with an EPC rating of A to C, we’re acknowledging sustainable choices that benefit both the environment and their bottom line.

“Our buy-to-let range is already well established and trusted by brokers, and these new EPC-linked products build on that strength.

“We’re committed to giving landlords more options that not only support their financial goals but also promote better living conditions for tenants.”
