renovations
How do you arrange a mortgage on a renovation property that is deemed uninhabitable? A traditional lender won’t offer a mortgage on a property that doesn’t have a working bathroom and kitchen. You’ll need a more specialist approach.
Clients looking for a renovation mortgage – look no further.
When it comes to helping your clients renovate a property to live in, its worth noting the majority of high street lenders will only offer a mortgage on a property that they consider to be habitable (working bathroom and kitchen) – eliminating many ‘unconventional’ renovation projects.
High street lenders often won’t lend where major structural works are being carried out, and your client’s borrowing will be limited to 80-95% of their home’s current value – which may not be enough to cover the cost of the planned works.
With BuildLoan, your clients can borrow up to 95% of the current value of the existing home plus up to 95% of the cost of the improvement works.

Clients Renovating to Sell or Let?
Suppose your clients plan to sell or let the property after the improvement works are complete. In that case, BuildLoan can provide a competitive short term secured development loan or bridging loan to fund the necessary works. On completion of the works, your client repays the loan by refinancing or selling the property.
