The mutual offers mortgages that support community housing projects, environmentally-friendly homes and finance to bring derelict buildings back into use.

It also provides finance for green home improvements, off-site construction methods, shared ownership and co-housing.

Ecology says it will consider lending on any project that delivers an environmental or social benefit.

Ecology mortgage product manager Kim Lugtenaar says: “Joining Twenty7tec’s Source makes it easier for brokers to find out more about our mortgage products and lending criteria. 

“This is the latest improvement we’ve made to our services for intermediaries as we continue to develop our product range and mortgage proposition to make it simpler and quicker to do business with Ecology.

“Much of our lending is for complex, non-standard projects and brokers have a significant role to play, supporting their clients with expert advice throughout the process.”

Twenty7tec lender relationships team manager Nakita Moss says: “We’re pleased intermediaries can now benefit from increased visibility of these products and support Ecology Building Society in strengthening their distribution.’’
