Santander and Octopus Offer Larger Mortgages for Eco Homes

Santander and Octopus are now offering bigger mortgages to buyers of the greenest homes. This move takes into account the fact that these buyers will not have to pay energy bills.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, this development may influence demand for eco-friendly properties, as buyers could access larger loans when purchasing homes with high environmental standards.
