- Resilience rating: Gain insight into a property’s resilience with a rating that factors in thermal comfort, air quality, and financial stability.
- Direct quotes: Obtain quotes for significant improvements from leading accredited national suppliers.
- Alternative solutions: Discover add-ons and alternatives such as batteries, EV charge points and heat pumps to further enhance a property’s sustainability and resilience ratings.

Intermediaries play a trusted role in advising homeowners and are forecast to be responsible for 90% of mortgage distribution by 2024, up from 84% in 2022. Habito will be the first major mortgage intermediary to use such a tool and will be working with Propflo and lenders to get homeowners the most suitable finance options.
The tool will initially be offered to existing Habito customers.
