Ecology Building Society is celebrating joining two more broker panels.

From this month, the ethical lender’s product range, including residential and community lending, is available to intermediaries who are part of the Sesame network and its sister brand for Directly Authorised firms, PMS Mortgage Club.

Ecology specialises in mortgages for sustainable projects, including energy-efficient self-builds, eco-renovations, conversions and retrofits, as well as non-standard construction. 

The mutual’s innovative C-Change discount rewards borrowers with reduced mortgage rates based on improvements they make to their home’s energy efficiency. The more they cut their carbon footprint, the greater the discount.

“We’re excited to be broadening access to our sustainable mortgage offering for thousands more brokers across the UK,” said Daniel Capstick, Ecology’s Senior Mortgages Product and Proposition Manager.

“Intermediaries are vital to us in growing the reach and impact of our green mortgage lending so we can deliver on our mission to support more sustainable homes and communities. 

“We use a bespoke, case-by case underwriting approach, which is particularly useful for advisers working with borrowers with non-standard cases. Many of our existing and potential borrowers will value brokers’ professional advice to organise finance as part of what might be a complex and time-consuming building project. 

“As we invest in what Ecology offers brokers, we’re strengthening our BDM team and are in the process of upgrading our systems to ensure our service is the best it can be.

“On top of this, we’ve been adding to our range throughout the year with mortgages for new builds, green home improvements, affordable housing and community-led schemes, with further product launches planned.”

Claire Cherrington, Distribution Director for PMS, said: “We’re pleased to welcome Ecology to our panel, giving our members access to a lender that supports complex and sustainable projects. 

“Their flexible, case-by-case approach and commitment to green lending make them a valuable addition. This partnership reflects our ambition to be a proactive partner for life, helping advisers deliver meaningful outcomes for their clients.”

Toni Smith, Distribution Director at Sesame, added: “Ecology’s focus on energy-efficient homes and community-led developments brings valuable choice to our network. 

“Their proposition aligns with our goal to equip advisers with forward-thinking solutions that meet the evolving needs of today’s clients.”
