Self build mortgages

Self build mortgages are for people who are building a new home from scratch or making major renovations on an existing property. Self build mortgages differ from traditional mortgages because they are repaid in stages.

The borrower is required to repay the mortgage as each piece of the project is completed either in advance or in arrears. A qualified architect will need to be involved to qualify for a self build mortgage and the mortgage is subject to strict limits on loan to value ratio.
