Ecology Building Society

Building a greener Society

Ecology Building Society is a natural partner for GreenMoves.com as it specialises in green mortgages for properties that benefit the environment. So if you are purchasing an eco-home or making energy efficiency improvements and need to borrow some money, contact the Ecology first – we have been providing green mortgages for green properties for over 25 years.

Our mortgages are available for:

Newly built eco-homes
Timber framed and clad properties
Homes built using sustainable materials such as straw bale, cob, mud block, wattle & daub
The installation of energy saving measures and renewable energy technology
Live/Work units.

We also lend on eco self builds and properties that require renovation or conversion – basically any property that is energy efficient or can be made more energy efficient.

Ecology mortgages – great value

Our mortgages offer great long term value and our 10 year residential mortgage won us 3^rd Best Value Building Society and 6^th Best Value Lender in the 2006 What Mortgage Awards.

Other features of our mortgages include:

Low fees – our mortgage application fee is only £150
The ability to overpay up to 10% of the mortgage balance each month – without penalty
Daily interest – interest is calculate each day based on the outstanding balance so you benefit immediately from increased repayments
No Higher Lending Charges
0.25% discount after 2 years – applicable for the rest of the mortgage term.

…plus our C-Change mortgage discount

Any funds borrowed for specified energy saving measures and renewable energy technologies (such as timber-framed double or triple glazing or ground source heat pumps) benefit from a 1% discount off the Ecology’s Standard Variable Rate, as soon as the works are completed.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE

Knauf Insulation

GreenMoves are pleased to have the support of Knauf Insulation.

The two best ways to reduce the amount of energy a home uses are:

Install cavity wall insulation
Lay insulation in your loft.

In doing so you will drastically reduce the harmful CO₂ emissions caused by your home’s energy consumption. Both types of insulation can have a dramatic effect. A correctly insulated home can reduce fuel bills by as much as £150 per year (depending on your house size) and once it’s in place it lasts a lifetime. Imagine feeling the benefits of a warmer, cosier, more comfortable home that costs less to run and is kind to the environment. To achieve this, all we have to do is Thinksulation.

Knauf have teamed up with the Energy Savings Trust to launch an initiative called Thinksulation. Its aim is to promote the benefits of insulation in terms of:

Comfort
Environmental Impact
Cost savings
