💚Thinking about making your home more energy efficient and saving on your monthly bills? You may be abke to fund your upgrades with 0% interest!
Here is everything you need to know about the Green Additional Borrowing scheme and how it can help you level up your home:
💰 The Key Benefits
Borrow Interest-Free: You can borrow anywhere from £5,000 to £20,000 at 0% fixed interest for the first 2 or 5 years.
£0 Product Fees: There are no product fees to worry about.
High LTV Available: You can borrow up to 90% of your home’s value.
No Long Waiting Period: Unlike standard borrowing options that usually make you wait 180 days, you can apply for this as soon as your very first mortgage payment clears!
🛠️ What Can You Fund?
To qualify for the 0% rate, 100% of the funds must be spent on eligible green home improvements or the necessary supporting works (like scaffolding or minor rewiring).
Popular eligible upgrades include:
✅ Solar PV panels and battery storage.
✅ Home insulation (cavity wall, loft, floor, or pipe insulation).
✅ Electric boilers and smart heating controls.
✅ Energy-efficient replacement windows and doors (such as double or triple glazing).
✅ Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
✅ Air or ground source heat pumps.
⚠️ The Fine Print: The scheme cannot be used for routine maintenance, structural changes, gas boilers, or to pay you back for work that is already completed. The upgrades also cannot make your home completely uninhabitable while the work is being done.
