Help your clients stay ahead with EPC improvement

With a refurbishment loan, your clients can get more from their renovation project. Introducing sustainable energy improvements during a refurbishment not only future proofs the property against potential regulation changes but also positions it favourably in the market.

Unlike many lenders, our customers have the option to convert their refurbishment loan into a term loan.

    "Of all the banks I deal with, I have to say the Cambridge & Counties Bank team work tirelessly to get deals agreed and drawn. It is good dealing with a bank who always works to find solutions for clients (and brokers) rather than looking for reasons not to provide funding. It’s very refreshing in the current climate to have someone that understands funding and has the desire to get things done. Once again thanks for your help and support."
