Awards

Best Green Lender

The Society won Best Green Lender at this year’s Financial Reporter Brokers’ Choice Awards, recognising our innovations and commitment to green lending and environmentally friendly operations.

Our unique partnership with green retrofit specialist Retrogreen supports property owners to improve their property’s energy efficiency, and to raise their Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. This service covers the full cost of green retrofitting through a lower-rate green mortgage, overcoming the affordability barrier.

“We entered this award (Best Green Lender) because we genuinely feel that we’re a leading light on the ‘green’ stage, and that we’re making a significant impact. Winning this award is a testament to the energy and dedication that my team has put into leading the way on green mortgages. Our own green agenda and commitment to local community initiatives are the beating heart of our Society, and to be recognised for our achievements on this is the pinnacle of pride for us all.”

Barry Carter, Chief Executive Officer

Best Self Build Mortgage Lender

The Society proudly won Best Self Build Mortgage Lender at the 2023 Build It Awards, recognising our efforts in innovating and enhancing our offerings to meet the financial needs of self-builders.

Integral to our success in the self-build sector has been the strength of our exclusive partnership with BuildLoan, the UK’s leading provider of services and support for self-builders. This has driven innovation and change at every level, resulting in an award-winning formula that provides maximum benefit to homebuilders.
