Ecology Building Society has joined the TMA Mortgage Club panel, extending broker access to its specialist residential and community lending products.
The ethical mutual said its range will now be available to intermediaries within the club, supporting lending across energy-efficient self-builds, eco-renovations, conversions and retrofits, as well as non-standard construction.
Ecology’s approach centres on impact-led lending, with its C-Change discount offering reduced mortgage rates linked to improvements borrowers make to a property’s energy efficiency. The greater the reduction in a home’s carbon footprint, the larger the discount applied.
Daniel Capstick, the Ecology’s senior product and proposition manager – mortgages, said: “We’re delighted to be joining TMA’s panel so members of the club have access to our sustainable mortgage range.
“We’re ambitious to grow the impact of our green mortgage lending and intermediaries play a vital part in that, helping us to reach more borrowers looking to fund sustainable homes and community projects.
“In recognition of the importance of brokers to the Society, we’re investing heavily in our systems and service for intermediaries, to make us simpler and slicker to deal with, with quicker decisions and online case tracking.
“That’s on top of our 45 years of experience in specialist sectors such self-build and renovation, and our expertise with non-standard cases. This knowledge informs our bespoke underwriting and our dedicated business development managers are ready to help club members.”
Rob McCoy, TMA’s senior product and business manager, added: “At TMA, we pride ourselves on supporting brokers to go further, achieve their business ambitions, and empower advisers to deliver the best and most appropriate advice for their customers.
“The addition of Ecology to the TMA Mortgage Club panel is a great example of this commitment in action.
“Ecology’s specialist green mortgage range broadens the already extensive choice available to our members, providing them with even more high-quality options to meet the diverse needs of their clients, particularly those looking to make more sustainable housing decisions. We couldn’t be more pleased to add them to our panel.”
