Just Group offers free EPCs to lifetime mortgage customers
Just Group will make the offer available to new customers across its 'Just For You' lifetime mortgage range.
"People don’t always know what they can do to improve the energy efficiency of their homes, or how much those improvements will cost and what savings they will offer."
Just Group is teaming up with property services company, Vibrant, to provide new lifetime mortgage customers with a free Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
Just Group will make the offer available to new customers across its 'Just For You' lifetime mortgage range, including its medically underwritten products.
EPCs assess how energy efficient a building is and also highlight improvements that could be made, how much they will cost, and how much money could be saved – helping customers understand how they could make their property more energy efficient and reduce energy bills.
Sarah Morris-Simpson, retail propositions director at Just Group, said: “At Just Group, we are proud of our innovative track record of supporting customers in the lifetime mortgage sector.
“Just Group introduced medical underwriting across its range of Just For You range of lifetime mortgages and launched the first green lifetime mortgage, and so we are delighted to offer new customers a free EPC.
“The UK has the oldest housing stock in Europe which tends to be poorly insulated and energy inefficient. People don’t always know what they can do to improve the energy efficiency of their homes, or how much those improvements will cost and what savings they will offer.
“We believe in helping people achieve a better later life and this initiative will help people understand their options to improve the efficiency of their homes.”
