We have full planning permissions to demolish a stone built cottage and rebuild it with block and render.
In addition we will extend, at the same time.
Both the cottage and the extension will be a timber kit.
The extension will give an addition 100% floor space to the property, and it will be clad in Siberian larch timber.
We are currently trying to mortgage through Buildstore. They are quite adamant that any mortgage we take will require the extension to have a block work skin.
Is this correct?
Has anyone else come up against this?
Is there a way round it?
