Sustainability through your mortgage? Smarter than you think!

Yet sustainability does not have to be unattainable. In fact, it can actually work out smarter if you do it at the right time. For instance, if you are already reviewing your mortgage.

Savings or mortgage?

Maybe you think: I'll wait until I've saved enough. Logical, but meanwhile your energy bill just keeps running, you still sit on the couch in thick socks in winter and you miss the peace and quiet of a well-insulated house.

What many people don't know: you can simply include sustainability in your mortgage. Without complicated hassle and often with more room than you think.

Consider a remodelling mortgage, a construction deposit or - when the time comes - refinance your mortgage. This will give you access to extra financial space, specifically for home improvements. And because sustainability saves money in the long run, it usually doesn't even feel like an extra burden.

It's not just about money

Sure: lower monthly costs are nice, but the best thing about sustainability is often in something else. In comfort. In peace and quiet. In that feeling that your house is 'finished'. No more draughts under the door. No more banging central heating boiler in the middle of the night. No more worrying about what energy prices will do again this year.

And if you want to sell your house in the future, having a better energy label also gives you an edge. Sustainable homes are in demand and this is reflected in the speed of sale and the room for negotiation.
