I would've loved to use Ecology, but they wanted to be the funding/insurance across both sides of our semi-detached build which wasn't acceptable. Have you looked into Buildloan/Buildstore options too? Ecology are meant to be better (service, no quibbles, etc).
We were building well above SAP credentials, we used passiveHouse modelling software, but an equivalent experience exists for SAP too... ask your architect, or jump in yourself as it's just an excel sheet really!
In fact, definitely try and do it yourself for SAP as I think you can always get over the line by 'topping up' your SAP points with PV, or water recovery, etc? Check out SAPeasy, or head over to the buildhub forum for more expert advice from people that have trodden the same path as you.

About to embark on a difficult conversion / building project with no money. Can anyone recommend a good lender for construction loans? Currently talking to Ecology but wouldn't mind having more than 1 option. Wasted months talking to 2 mortgage advisors and 1 mortgage broker.
Also: anyone have good experiences with a company that does SAP EPC? (A requirement for the lender mentioned above.)
thnx
