The [hidden] cost of free data

Mortgage Lenders
News
White Paper

We analysed our comprehensive environmental profiling dataset against freely available (but highly unreliable and inaccurate) EPC data to find out if bad data is preventing progress on decarbonising UK homes.

Here’s a snapshot of our findings:

  • Mortgage lenders have a climate risk blind spot, with 75.6% of UK homes having no or outdated EPC data
  • Investors are unable to assess the ROI of securitising green mortgages, restricting the flow of green capital
  • 4 million homeowners are put off retrofit due to perceived high costs and a lack of clarity
  • Lenders are over-reporting financed emissions by up to 300%
