Renovations the Ecology Building Society can fund

It's time to put in a word for the EBS again. It so happens that I had a letter from the mortgage manager recently observing that people are not generally aware of the extensive range of building and community projects and activities which come within the Society's remit to support. This is an extract from the current leaflet on renovation mortgages:

Renovation mortgage 

We are specialists in lending for home renovations, including property extensions, conversions and refurbishments that improve the energy efficiency of a property and consider:

• Uninhabitable houses, including old/derelict buildings 
• Thatched, historic and listed buildings 
• Non-standard construction types, such as timber, straw bale, cob and earth shelter 
• Barns for conversion 

Our C-Change retrofit discount: 

• Helps you reduce your mortgage payments when applied to the Standard Variable Rate (currently 4.65%) 
• Applies to the whole of the mortgage from the date you confirm that your renovation works are complete and provide us with an updated Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) 
• Offers a 0.25% reduction from our Standard Variable Rate for every grade improvement in your home’s EPC rating. 

The energy efficiency rating is a measure of the overall efficiency of a home. The higher the rating the more energy efficient the home is and the lower the fuel bills will be.
