You don't have to sacrifice a great rate
to be green
With the financial services 'green' sector in it's infancy, much has been made in recent articles about the fact that if your conscience wants to be green then you must pay a premium for this
Not so with Carbon Offset mortgages from Giraffe We realise that whilst most of us do want to do our bit for the environment we don't want to pay through the nose for it or compromise on the type of products available

Giraffe launch carbon offset mortgages
Giraffe is delighted to announce the launch of its new Carbon Offset mortgages.
That's why when we launched Giraffe Carbon Offset products we sought to extend the range of deals available across Buy to Let and Self Certification as well as our highly competitive Standard mortgages.
We also cater for first time buyers as well as movers and people who want to remortgage.
We understand that rate and the type of product are also important factors when choosing the right mortgage for you.
That's why we have a number of products covering both fixed and discount.
Don't just take our word for the fact that our products are good.
At the recent Your Money consumer industry awards, our Giraffe Carbon Offset mortgage won the Editor's Special Award for helping the environment.
And, our 5.69% 3 year discounted rate is currently featuring in best rate tables - proof that you don't have to compromise on rate.
We also understand that there has been a recent amount of cynicism regarding 'green' credentials and that why we have chosen carbon offsetting directly through the Bank of Ireland's carbon trading desk - that way our customers can be assured that they are having an immediate impact, with 5.5 tonnes of carbon credits being retired from circulation for every 12 months of the promotional period.
Our Giraffe Carbon Offset mortgages clearly demonstrate that you don't have to sacrifice a great rate to be green.
With Giraffe you can grab a great deal for yourself and the planet! To find out more about Giraffe's Carbon Offset and best rate products you can call us on 0845 603 1936 or visit giraffemoney.co.uk.
P.S: Giraffe are also proud to be sponsoring the Soil Association Organic Festival in Bristol on 1st and 2nd September - we will have a stand at Millennium Square, so why not come along and see us?.
