In January, London’s Brunel Museum played host to Kamma’s first event of 2023: Putting Property on the Pathway to Net Zero. Despite the cold, the historic location inspired a memorable discussion between mortgage lenders and other property professionals.
The focus of the evening was the role of data and partnerships in unlocking Net Zero and green finance opportunities for lenders. Today’s homes were not built to deal with today’s challenges. In fact, less than 50,000 homes were Net Zero ready in 2020. This also comes with a huge cost to homeowners as energy bill costs as energy inefficient homes are, on average, over £5,000 higher than those considered efficient. A series of speakers and a panel discussion brought together new ideas from across the industry on how these problems could be addressed.
What was covered?
The show started with an opening speech from Kamma’s CEO Orla Shields, who laid why action on Net Zero is so critical to the sector. This was swiftly followed by Kamma’s Chief Growth Officer, Joe Webb, who shared insight on how to act, referencing Kamma’s latest data and analysis on the UK housing market and energy efficiency.
Alex Maddox, Capital Markets and Digital Director at Kensington Mortgages, followed up as the evenings’ keynote to discuss the Finsbury Square 2021-1 Green Bond – the UK’s 1st green bond in the UK asset backed securities (ABS) market.
Putting Property on the Pathway to Net Zero was closed by an expert panel discussion, including: Hugo Davies, Chief Lending Officer, LendInvest; Neil Sampson, Chief Product and Innovation Officer, Kamma; Neil Richardson, ESG Sustainability Director, OSB; Simon Rayner, Analyst, The Climate Change Committee; Mat Ilic, Co-founder and CEO, Greenworkx. Moderated by Orla Shields, the panel presented ideas and case studies on how to approach the use of data, cooperate between sectors, finance decarbonisation efforts, up-skill the workforce, and create green growth opportunities for lenders.
