How Do Conversion Mortgages Work ?

  • The main difference between conversion mortgages over a traditional mortgage is that the money is released in stages as the build moves forward, rather than as a single amount.

  • Lenders will release funds for clients to buy land, subject to the plot having a minimum of outline planning or permitted development rights.

  • Typically 20% cash deposit is needed against the cost of the whole project (purchase of land & build costs). However there are lenders that will allow a lower deposit and we can fund projects with a deposit as low as 15% of the overall cost.

  • Those who already own land and have detailed planning agreed can use the plot value to draw funds on day one of the build.

  • Funds can be released in advance or in arrears of each build stage. The cash flow of your project will dictate our recommendation to you.

  • Stages of funds being released can vary slightly from project to project depending on the lender and the construction mechanism you are using.

  • Every project is different, to get a true understanding of how to fund your conversion book a free call today and speak to our self build experts.
