A quick look at Green Mortgages

  • Just one in 7 consumers has been offered a green or net zero mortgage product, while two-thirds have not heard of them, according to new research released by the Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB).
  • Green mortgages reward owners for owning an energy efficient home, either through favourable terms such as a slightly lower interest rate or via cashback on approval.
  • The proportion of consumers willing to pay more and not willing to pay more for a green mortgage was fairly evenly balanced.
  • The number of green mortgage products is set to increase. The MAB found just 1 in 4 lenders (based on 69 lenders) currently offer a product. 88% of those that don't, have plans to do so.
  • Source; Dataloft, Mortgage Advice Bureau, based on respondents who have bought a property or remortgaged in last 18 months

There's a lot of talk about AI in estate agency, and rightly so. But here at Millbanks, I've noticed a worrying trend. Many agents are simply using this powerful new technology to speed up old, ineffective processes. Let me explain why I believe that's a mistake, and how we do things differently.

More homes are competing for buyer attention, so sellers need more than a hopeful asking price. A smart launch, realistic valuation and strong presentation can help attract serious interest.

At Millbanks, we believe estate agency should be proactive, personal, and genuinely helpful. Discover how our investment in AI-powered technology is transforming your property journey, making it smoother and more efficient.

The data is clear. Nearly 42% of UK homes find a buyer within the first four weeks of hitting the market, proving those early days matter most. Serious buyers act fast, and pricing correctly from Day One creates momentum. Testing the market can work, but only briefly. Stay overpriced too long, and buyers move on.
