Introducing our Green Self Build mortgage range
Posted on 16th June 25
We are proud to have launched our first green self-build green mortgage solution, available exclusively via BuildLoan and BuildStore.
Self-builders who commit to including qualifying green features (solar panels, rainwater harvesting, passive house (Passivhaus Trust, 2024), Biomass boiler, heat exchanger, solar thermal water system and wind turbine) in their plans (including renovations and extensions) may take advantage of the three new two year discounted variable green self-build products which include enhanced affordability, no product fee and £1,000 cash back at the beginning of the project to assist with the cost of the green features.
Craig Brown, Chief Mortgage Officer at Bath Building Society, said:
“We are delighted to extend our self-build range to include the new green products. The green mortgages complement our existing self-build range and align with our strategy to be a more sustainable Society. The Society is making strong progress towards reducing our own environmental impact, helped by our Head Office refurbishment and investment in new digital systems. Making sustainable home ownership more accessible and affordable for our Members is part of this commitment and the new green self-build products are a big step towards helping this happen, with a further green initiative planned to launch later this year.”
Chris Martin, Director of Operations at BuildLoan, said:
“As the leading specialist distributor in the self-build sector, we fully support the growing momentum behind green lending. These new products that we have designed with Bath Building Society support those values by rewarding self-builders who focus on energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and long-term cost savings with new product incentives and higher borrowing potential by reflecting lower running costs in the affordability calculation.
Bath Building Society customers will benefit from BuildLoan’s long-established support processes to support them in delivering good outcomes to their clients. This includes a professional review of build costs, cashflow analysis and guaranteed stage payments with no formal valuations during the build – all designed to ensure their clients get the money when they need it during their project.”
