In her new role, Timperley will collaborate with industry partners to accelerate the growth of the UK’s green mortgage market, supporting GFI’s mission to decarbonise the built environment.
She will continue advancing the organisation’s initiatives, including the Certificate in Green Mortgages, launched in April 2024. This programme, which offers specialised training for mortgage professionals, aims to enhance their ability to understand and promote green mortgage products.
Green mortgages, which incentivise environmentally friendly property upgrades, have seen significant expansion in the UK. The GFI has been instrumental in this growth, with the number of available green mortgage products rising from four in 2019 to over 60 today.
“The GFI has done a fantastic job of driving the mortgage market toward more green lending for UK homeowners,” Timperley said. “The mortgage industry has a key role to play in decarbonising the UK housing stock, and I’m thrilled to carry this work forward as green mortgage campaign lead, as we work to decarbonise the built environment at pace and scale.”
