What buildings qualify?

If you’re planning to build an energy-efficient, self-build property, we’re here to help.

At Ecology, we’re not put off by the construction type; we’ll support many types of construction techniques including those using non-standard materials and modern methods of construction. If we can see your self-build will be energy efficient using sustainable and where possible, locally sourced materials, we’ll consider lending.

We’ll lend on:

  • Timber frame and timber clad
  • Non-traditional such as straw bale, rammed earth, cob
  • Modern Methods of construction built off-site
  • Structurally insulated panels
  • Insulated concrete forms
  • Builds that contain renewables such as photovoltaics, solar thermal, heat pumps, etc.

Our mortgages are available in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).
