Research from Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) found that a third (33%) of homeowners say that contributing to the country's net zero targets is important and the reason they would make improvements to their home.
However, there is a lack of awareness and confusion around what homeowners can do, how they can go about doing them, and a fear of the cost.
Enjoy the rewards when turning your mortgage green
A mortgage is one of the biggest monthly payments you'll make, and with lenders now offering green mortgages, they can also play a part in building your net zero credentials. A green mortgage rewards you for buying or owning an energy efficient home.
Several different types exist, but the one thing they have in common is that they're only available to those who either buy or own an environmentally friendly home (generally with an A or B EPC rating), or those making energy efficient home improvements.
Cut costs by really getting to know your home
