How banks are rewarding sustainable mortgages and how you as an intermediary can smartly capitalise on it

Think about it for a moment: your client is about to buy his dream home. You help him get a competitive mortgage rate and make it possible to live energy-efficiently, without extra monthly costs. More and more banks are challenging you to do exactly that. Not with empty promises, but with concrete interest rate discounts, energy-saving budgets and green loans. As an intermediary, you are in exactly the key position to make the most of this.

The schemes are there, but underused

Most customers do not know that they can live more sustainably and cheaply through their mortgage. And honestly? Many advisers miss opportunities here. While the discounts are just there and can often save euros over the life of a loan.

What does this mean concretely for you as an intermediary?

These schemes do not come up naturally. They require your proactive knowledge and advice. Your role is changing: from mortgage adviser to a strategic partner bringing together sustainability and financial benefits. You make the difference by not just informing customers, but truly guiding them in making smart, future-proof choices. 

And that pays off. For your client with lower monthly costs, a more valuable home and access to low-cost financing. For you with stronger customer relationships, more trust and a position as an expert in a fast-growing market. 

What can you do today? 

  • Immerse yourself in the sustainability conditions of the banks you work with 
  • Actively bring up sustainability in any advice
