Ecology Building Society

Specialises in lending on run-down, derelict properties in need of renovation or conversion and for the construction of ecological new builds. Mortgages are advanced against the value of the land or the unimproved value of the property, and funds can be released in stages as the project progresses. Mortgages are also available across the UK for properties with non-standard constructions such as timber, straw bale, rammed earth, wattle and daub, etc, the purchase of woodland, buy-to-let properties in need of renovation, organic smallholding, and housing co-operatives. Ecology’s range of green savings accounts supports its unique lending programme.
