Cheadle-based non-bank lender Together has partnered with an Altrincham-based firm to help homeowners and landlords improve the sustainability of property.
The partnership means Together customers will gain access to Improveasy’s web-based tool, which recommends energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades property-owners can take to improve Energy Performance Certificate (EPC ratings), the main measure of sustainability for properties. The tool also helps guide property owners through the entire retrofit process.
Ryan Etchells, chief commercial officer at Together, said:
“At Together, we have made it our mission to provide education on the sustainability impact of a property’s EPC rating.
“This strategic partnership with Improveasy will provide a huge bonus for our customers, and could help reduce their bills, improve their carbon footprint, meet legislation, increase the property’s value and maybe even give access to more attractive financial products.
“Since 2011, Improveasy has been a market leader in green home improvement, with a focus on energy efficient and renewable technologies. When looking for who to partner with, they were the obvious choice.”
Austin Barcley, CEO at Improveasy said:
“It is a huge achievement to be able to bring EPC Builder to Together’s customers. Our in-house team has extensive experience installing green home improvements such as insulation, heating, lighting and renewables.
“Our expertise, coupled with Together’s, will provide much needed support to homeowners and landlords, helping us all move towards a more sustainable future.”
