With the rising cost of living, homeowners are looking for ways to save money – including energy bills. Home insulation, double glazing, low wattage bulbs can all help with fuel costs, but retrofitting can also improve the property’s EPC rating, which in turn, could get them a great deal on a Green mortgage. They’re not the only ones who could benefit! Those looking too purchase new builds or first-time buyers are also interested in whether a Green mortgage is right for them.

2023 was a turbulent year for the UK mortgage market. It witnessed the highest interest rates seen in 15 years, with a stream of consecutive Bank of England base rate rises resulting in the purchase market slowing. How did the mortgage industry cope with these challenges? Well, the introduction of the new Consumer Duty regulations and a rise in innovative products filling market gaps, has helped lead to a consumer focussed market and a positive end to the year. So, what can we expect for the future of the mortgage market in 2024 and beyond?

Join us for an insightful webinar, where we will take a look back at the UK mortgage market in 2023 and share our analysis, insights and predictions. You will hear from some of our key lender partners, who discuss topics such as:
• The state of the housing and mortgage market in 2023
• The growth of fintech and green lending in the mortgage industry
• The new regulations and policies that shaped the mortgage market in 2023
