Properties with an EPC 'C' rating now eligible for the discount
Retirement specialist Just Group has added its green mortgage discount feature to all of its Just For You Lifetime Mortgage range and extended the offer to include properties with an energy performance certificate rating (EPC) of ‘C’.
Customers can request a free EPC at the application stage and, if eligible, they can get a 10-basis point discount on their lifetime mortgage rate. Properties with an EPC ‘C’ rating will now be eligible for the discount, alongside properties with ‘A’ and ‘B’ ratings.
“We’re continuously improving our propositions to make it easy for advisers to present solutions that better meet the needs of their clients,” said Paul Turner (pictured) managing director of retail at Just Group. “Since 2008, over 10.3 million properties in England and Wales have been registered with an EPC of ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’, and we expect energy efficient housing stock to continue growing.
“We were the first provider to introduce a green mortgage discount on lifetime mortgages, and we’re very pleased to make this more widely available. From September 11, we’re adding it to our entire Just For You Lifetime Mortgage range and extending it to properties with a C-rated energy performance certificate.
“This improvement in our offering helps us to meet our sustainability goals of reaching Net Zero by 2050 and halving our emissions by 2030, as our lifetime mortgage portfolio forms part of our Scope 3 emissions.”
