Whether you want to renovate a thatched cottage, convert an old industrial building into a stylish modern home, or even convert a lighthouse, there is likely to be a mortgage for you.
Although it is possible to borrow money to finance the purchase and renovation of unusual properties, most high street lenders do not offer this type of loan.
Due to the uncertainty of resale value and current inhabitability, many mortgage lenders view this type of property as a risky investment.
You could save time and money by approaching a mortgage provider who specializes in mortgages for unusual properties.
When applying for a mortgage for an unusual property, you may encounter the following issues:
The non-standard construction of tower blocks may deter lenders from lending on flats in these buildings.
Before lenders will consider your mortgage application, you must check that you have the correct planning permission and that the building meets guidelines for residential conversion.
Mortgage lenders may be concerned about resale value if the flat is above commercial premises or in an unusual location.
