Recap of Perenna live: Boosting broker knowledge on retrofit solutions

Retrofitting has become a key topic in the mortgage industry as the demand for energy-efficient homes continues to rise. 

In our latest webinar, I was joined by Perenna’s former Sustainability Lead, Mike Lindsay Bailey, and Matt Lipson from Heat Geek. We explored how retrofitting can play a key role in mortgage advice. 

Mike started the session by explaining why retrofitting is important for the UK’s Net Zero targets. He noted that over 20% of the UK’s carbon emissions come from homes, some of the oldest in Europe. Retrofitting is crucial to lowering these emissions. 

Matt then talked about heat pumps—what they are, how they work, and why choosing an efficient model is so important. He highlighted how the right systems can significantly lower energy bills for homeowners. 

I followed by discussing how mortgage advisors can include retrofit options in their advice. I shared tips on identifying “green flags” that may indicate when retrofit products could benefit clients. Including these options in client discussions can add extra value and help them make smart, energy-efficient choices. 

The session wrapped up with an engaging Q&A. Brokers asked about various retrofit technologies and how to best support clients interested in energy-efficient upgrades. The lively discussion showed the growing interest in this area. 

Perenna’s Retrofit Discount is now available for remortgage applications. Borrowers can get a 0.2% interest rate reduction if they install solar panels or a heat pump within two years of taking out a Perenna mortgage (terms and conditions apply). 

This is a great chance for brokers to help clients save money and create more sustainable homes.

NEW: SVR impact calculator

For many borrowers, the amount they can borrow is a key priority. But do they realise that the product they choose can impact the amount they can borrow?  

Perenna’s fixed for life products don’t have an SVR or ‘revert’ rate that most short-term products have (and therefore no SVR based stress test)! This means we can unlock higher borrowing amounts for those who need it, whilst giving the flexibility of a short ERC period of 5 years.  

If maximising borrowing power is important to your client, we have a new tool that can help bring this to life. You can now easily see how a Perenna product compares with short-term fixed rate products. Why not give it a try today?

New Retrofit discount feature

We’re excited to announce a new feature for our remortgages that aligns with our commitment to sustainability and helping homeowners upgrade their homes. 

Join the Retrofit Revolution 

Our remortgages now come with an optional Retrofit Discount Feature for customers who plan to upgrade their home within the next two years*. This means lower mortgage payments, reduced energy usage, and less environmental impact. 

Why is Perenna doing this? 

We want to contribute to the UK’s efforts to tackle climate change and reward homeowners for taking on the challenge. Every home that gets decarbonised moves us one step closer to a brighter future. Let’s work together to make a difference. 

Plus, they’ll still receive all the usual benefits of a Perenna mortgage, including: 

  • Increased borrowing power – borrowing up to 6 times income, subject to criteria 
  • Monthly payments that remain unchanged 
  • Short early repayment charge for flexibility 
  • No maximum age caps, providing more options in later life

Recap of Perenna Live: Insights into lending criteria for brokers

Discover the latest from Perenna! Over 100 brokers recently joined our webinar led by Graham, Intermediary Support Manager, and Tim, National Account Manager. They highlighted essential lending insights that you won’t want to miss. 

Graham kicked off the session by exploring our long-term fixed rate proposition with short ERCs, and how this is a great addition to the UK market offering stability with flexibility.   

Tim explained in depth our recent enhancements to lending policy for non-UK nationals, as well as some of our new build products helping more first-time buyers onto the housing ladder.  

They both used case studies to bring the policy to life, with examples ranging from first time buyers, through to borrowers remortgaging, or lending into retirement – covering the full range of customers Perenna aims to serve. 

Perenna provide fixed-rate mortgages for the long term, which keep payments stable throughout the loan period with decreasing Early Repayment Charges (ERCs) over the first 5 years. 

Perenna shows commitment to inclusivity for older borrowers by offering mortgage products designed with no maximum age limits.

The webinar provided brokers with an overview of Perenna’s range, which includes high LTV options, support for self-employed applicants, and updated policies for foreign nationals and new build properties. For more information about Perenna’s lending criteria, please visit our website. 

During the Q&A session, Tim and Graham addressed numerous broker questions, highlighting strong interest in Perenna’s offerings and policies. Topics ranged from offer extensions to non-standard properties and specific case scenarios.  

Graham ended by emphasising how important the relationship between lender and intermediary is to Perenna, and how working together can help us to deliver better customer outcomes.
