When your conversion is complete

When your conversion works are complete and you provide us with the required evidence,  we will either apply the C-Change sustainable homes discount or C-Change energy improvements discount, depending on the discount your project qualifies for.

For us to apply the C-Change sustainable homes discount, you need to provide an Energy Standard certificate and Architect or Building Control certificate. We will apply the applicable C-Change sustainable homes discount to our Standard Variable Rate from the date we receive evidence that the work has been completed and the Energy Standard rating required has been achieved.

For us to apply the C-Change energy improvements discount, please supply us with invoices for qualifying works.  We will apply the applicable C-Change energy improvements discount to our Standard Variable Rate from the date we receive the required invoices.

How we work out your Variable Mortgage Rate:
Standard Variable Rate (SVR) minus C-Change Discount = Variable Mortgage Rate

For new builds and existing energy efficient homes: C-Change sustainable homes discount

Our C-Change sustainable homes discount applies to new and existing energy efficient homes and extensive retrofits using the Passivhaus EnerPHit methodology. Once your build is complete, you need to provide an Energy Standard certificate and Architect/Building Control certificate for us to apply the Sustainable C-Change discount. The discount is applied from the date we receive all the required documentation and is based on the Energy Standard rating the property achieves.
