Buildings Transition Loan

Discounted lending for small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) acquiring or refinancing energy-efficient properties.​

Why we offer the Buildings Transition Loan​

UK buildings are responsible for up to 25% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions and are rated as the least efficient in Europe. A transition to more energy efficient buildings should relieve pressure on energy supply, reduce costs and limit greenhouse gas emissions.​

How it can benefit your business

Discounted finance​

We offer an arrangement fee-free loan.​

Cost savings​

More efficient buildings may result in lower energy costs for tenants and lower operating costs for landlords.​

Higher value​

Buildings with higher EPC ratings may attract higher sale values and an increase in rents.​

Environmental impact​

Efficient buildings can help to improve environmental impact and support the UK’s transition to net zero.​

The types of buildings you can use this loan for

Residential

Commercial

*Subject to eligibility, the loan can be used to acquire or refinance residential and commercial buildings.​
