Supporting People and Communities

We’ve introduced three new mortgage products that are directly linked to our vision of creating a fair society in a sustainable world.

These new products are good for people and planet and can only be available thanks to the support of our existing savings Members who fund our lending.

They are:

      • Our Affordable Local Homes mortgage, which is designed to help
        people to get onto the property ladder by providing lending for
        those looking to purchase Discounted Market Sale Homes. These
        homes are available for local residents to purchase at a
        discounted price of the property’s value, making it a more
        affordable way for people to get onto the housing ladder.
      • Our Community Living Mortgage, which is designed for people
        looking to purchase a property that’s part of a cohousing set-up.
        This product supports a sustainable way of living that can be
        environmentally friendly and helps communities thrive and grow.
      • A new product to support light sustainable renovations helping
        people to finance projects like installing a heat pump, improving
        installation or adding solar panels and a battery.
