Dashly is committed to fostering debate and innovation around the green agenda. By providing this comprehensive data, we aim to promote energy efficiency and sustainability in the housing market. This page presents detailed information on the value and loan characteristics of mortgage properties, their current and potential EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) ratings, and associated financial implications. Derived from a significant sample set 5% of all active mortgages, this data is statistically powerful and highly relevant compared to typical surveys. This resource assists journalists, researchers, and analysts in understanding trends and producing informed reports. Please ensure proper attribution when using this information.

Data Explanation

The table below summarises the key statistics for mortgaged properties with current EPC ratings of C and below. It includes average property values, loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, average mortgage rates, monthly repayments, and potential costs of efficiency improvements based on the most recent EPC.

Retrofitting costs per tonne of CO2 saved vary widely, from £3k to £26k. Upgrading from lower EPC ratings (e.g., G) to higher ratings (e.g., A) generally provides significant CO2 savings at a relatively lower cost per tonne. These insights highlight the financial and environmental benefits of investing in energy-efficient property upgrades. Additionally, understanding regional disparities in retrofit costs and benefits provides a nuanced view of the financial and environmental impacts of energy efficiency improvements across the UK.

“Debt consolidation and the pigeon in the basement”

Every adviser, regardless of time served, has a ‘transaction type’ that is their least favourite. Might be lending into retirement. Residential interest only perhaps. Contractors with small contracts and very little prior evidence comes to mind… For me, it used to be Debt Consolidation. For multiple, (very) unrelated reasons…
