Legal & General Mortgage Club has launched a green hub to support the mortgage industry as the UK works towards its net zero goal.

The hub includes a calendar of key milestones for industry professionals to be aware of, which currently stretches to 2035, and covers subtopics including heat pumps, energy performance certificate (EPC) ratings, and new build properties. 

In addition, the hub includes webinars on topics ranging from green mortgages to whether the green agenda will impact mortgage affordability. 

Resources from Gov.UK, Ofgem, Simple Energy Advice, and the Energy Saving Trust will also be available. 

The resources cover topics such as how to find out a property’s EPC rating, measure a firm’s carbon footprint, and calculate the funding available to clients looking to introduce eco-friendly home improvements. 

It also includes a key heat sources glossary, which explains terms such as an air source heat pump, biomass boiler, and hydrogen-ready boiler.

The hub will also feature information on the latest industry developments and share opinion pieces from wider industry experts.

Legal & General Mortgage Club head of lender relationships Danny Belton says: “This is a complex and rapidly changing area, so we are delighted to further our support for our valued adviser and lender communities. The record temperatures seen across the UK in the last few weeks brings the importance of supporting the green agenda into sharp focus.”

“This is a passionate project for us and we look forward to developing it in the coming years as we quickly approach the 2050 net zero deadline.”
