How Do Renovations Mortgages Work ?

  • The main difference between renovation mortgages over a traditional mortgage is that the money is released in stages as the build moves forward. The lender takes into account the end value of the property.

  • Depending on the scale of works, planning permission may or may not be needed.

  • Typically 20% cash deposit is needed against the cost of the whole project (purchase of existing property & build costs). However there are lenders that will allow a lower deposit and we can fund projects with a deposit as low as 10% of the overall cost.

  • Those who already own the property and have detailed planning agreed (if needed) in some cases need no additional cash.

  • 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 and if there is currently any debt on the secuity.

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

 FAQs

  • Maybe not, it will depend on the project. A specialist renovation product is usually needed when the value of your home as it currently stands doesn’t have enough equity for you to draw down more funds on a traditional product. A renovation product would take the end value into account. Your circumstances would dictate our recommendation to you.

  • This will depend on the scale of works you have planned. Please contact your local authority. If they stipulate planning is required the renovation lenders will want to see this as part of your application.

  • Absolutely

  • You most certainly can

  • Just because your credit is impaired does not necessarily mean you would not be eligible for a renovation mortgage. We would have to review your credit history.
