At Hodge, we’re not just talking about the benefits of going green—we’re providing the technology and financial support to make it possible. In April 2024, we partnered with Propflo, an award-winning PropTech startup to help homeowners make their properties more energy-efficient and eco-friendly.

Green retrofitting doesn’t only benefit the planet, it’s also great for your home: it boosts energy efficiency, reduces carbon emissions, improves comfort and can increase the EPC rating, value and appeal of a home. However, many homeowners and landlords are uncertain about where to begin, the costs involved and the potential long-term savings. That’s where Propflo’s GreenVal tool comes in – it can be a game-changer for anyone looking to make their home greener.

As part of our partnership with Propflo, all new and remortgaging Hodge customers get free access to GreenVal, a smart AI-powered platform designed to give tailored advice on how to make individual homes greener, healthier and more valuable.

Research from Imperial College London shows UK homes are some of the least energy-efficient in Europe, losing heat up to three times faster than on the continent. This makes heating more expensive and homes less comfortable. GreenVal gives homeowners the chance to assess their property’s current performance and see exactly where improvements can be made, as well as what kind of savings they can expect. Whether it’s adding insulation, upgrading windows or installing solar panels, the tool puts the power firmly in your client’s hands to make smart, impactful changes.

Our partnership with Propflo is part of its broader commitment to driving the UK’s Green Agenda. While many people recognise the potential benefits of green retrofitting, there’s often confusion about how to approach it. This initiative helps bridge the knowledge gap and provide support throughout the process.

A win-win for brokers and clients

For brokers, this is a valuable opportunity to offer clients a simple, effective way to improve their homes. They can have a warmer, more comfortable home, lower energy bills and the added bonus of increasing their property’s value. As brokers, you can offer them a complete solution— both the financing and the tools to future-proof their homes against rising energy costs.

Supporting clients at every stage of life

At Hodge, we believe green homes aren’t just better for the environment but our customers’ pockets too. The upgrades homeowners can make will pay off for years to come, and we’re proud to help them make the first step, while also offering ongoing support throughout their lending journey with our flexible mortgage options.

From our Hodge Resi mortgage for clients starting at age 21 to our Hodge Resi Retire (50+) mortgage that supports clients right up to age 95, we’ve designed our products to fit modern life. So, whether your client’s buying their first home or remortgaging later in life, we offer lending options that grow with their needs.

By working with Propflo, we’re helping clients create homes that are not only more sustainable but also warmer, smarter and easier to live in. And with the financial support we provide for energy-efficient improvements, homeowners can enjoy greener homes – better for their comfort and their finances.
