Twenty7tec, the adviser tech provider, has reported a record number of green mortgage searches in February 2025.
Searches hit new peaks on 25th February and 28th February, and the month saw an unprecedented level of activity overall.
Additionally, six of the 10 busiest days for green mortgage searches occurred in February, including the top four busiest days ever.
Nathan Reilly, director at Twenty7tec, said: “In 2025 to date, we’ve already seen almost the same number of green mortgage searches as we did in the first five months of 2024.
“Normally, increases in green mortgages are driven by the buy-to-let (BTL) market as landlords seek to recoup some of their energy efficiency investments through improved mortgage rates available for stock with better EPC ratings.
“But in February 2025, it was homebuyers who drove the increases in the market, pushing volumes to record highs.”
Reilly added: “New products will, we believe, continue to emerge for the homebuyer market, rewarding lower EPC ratings, and households are looking to take advantage of the lower rates available.
“In recent years, around one in three green mortgage searches were for landlords, but in February 2025, this is only one in eight, a sign of how quickly the market is growing.”
