The following discount will apply:

 A rating: 0.60%  B rating: 0.45%  C rating: 0.25%

 

By carrying out improvements to your property during the lifetime of your Buy-to-Let mortgage with us that has resulted in an improved EPC rating, you could be eligible for a partial refund of our arrangement fee**. The same percentage discounts shown above apply to the refund. 

** Applicable only to new Buy-to-Let mortgages completed on and after 6 May 2022
