L&G’s Mortgage Club has strengthened its green lending offering by adding Ecology Building Society to its lender panel.
The move will give the Club’s brokers access to specialist products designed for eco-friendly homebuilding and renovation, widening the options available to clients pursuing sustainable projects.
The partnership means advisers will now be able to source mortgages for energy-efficient self-builds, eco-renovations, conversions and retrofits through Ecology, a mutual that has focused on environmentally responsible lending for more than four decades.
Ecology specialises in supporting the creation and improvement of green homes, including the redevelopment of disused or derelict buildings for sustainable use. Its approach is built around bespoke, case-by-case underwriting, which is often crucial for borrowers with non-standard or complex requirements.
Greg Cunnington, head of strategic accounts at L&G’s mortgage services business, said: “Providing advisers with access to specialised mortgage solutions is a really important way to ensure that borrowers receive the best possible outcomes.
“We are delighted to welcome Ecology Building Society to our lender panel, offering brokers a wider range of products to support borrowers looking to make greener choices.”
The mutual said joining the panel was an important milestone in widening access to its green lending range.
Daniel Capstick, senior mortgages product and proposition manager at Ecology Building Society, said: “We’re really pleased to be joining L&G’s Mortgage Club panel, which marks another important step in making Ecology’s range of sustainable mortgage products more accessible to brokers and their clients.
“We’ve been investing in the service we offer brokers and are known for our bespoke, case-by-case underwriting approach, which can be particularly helpful to advisers working with non-standard and complex cases.
“Our partnership with L&G will help us reach more intermediaries who are passionate about supporting borrowers to build, renovate or retrofit homes that have a positive impact on people and the planet.
“By working together, we can make it easier for more customers to access mortgages that reward energy efficiency and sustainability.”
