Property Linked Finance: A New Financial Solution to Decarbonise the UK's Homes and Buildings

Resource Summary

This report addresses a significant investment challenge posed by the need to decarbonise the UK's building stock. It highlights the advantages of Property Linked Finance (PLF), a financial instrument that can support homeowners to fund up to 100% of the upfront costs of energy efficiency improvements, for both financial providers and consumers, emphasising its potential to unlock between £52-70 billion in private investment. The report outlines design principles for implementing PLF in the UK and shares lessons learned from international markets, featuring case studies from the US and Australia. These case studies illustrate successful applications of similar financial mechanisms, driving substantial investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The report underscores the importance of creating a supportive policy environment and engaging stakeholders to help ensure the successful adoption of PLF in the UK.
