The Rate Mechanics

Every upgrade moves the rate. Here's by how much.

Our lender panel weights 14 energy features. Below are the six that move the needle most — measured in basis points and pounds over a 10-year term.

☀️
−18–28
basis pts

Solar PV Array

A roof-mounted solar array — particularly with battery storage — is the single highest-weighted feature across our lender panel.

≈ £9,400 avg over term
♨️
−14–22
basis pts

Heat Pump (ASHP / GSHP)

Replacing a gas boiler with a heat pump removes the fossil-fuel dependency flag that suppresses rates with green lenders.

≈ £6,200 avg over term
🧱

Wall & Roof Insulation

Solid-wall or cavity insulation is the most accessible upgrade and often the fastest route from EPC D to B.

≈ £4,800 avg over term
🪟

Triple Glazing

Triple-glazed units eliminate cold-bridge penalties and contribute meaningfully to air-tightness scores.
