All timber post build mortgage lenders

[davidc]

My question falls outside the topic of self build mortgages i'm afraid but i posted here as it is the closest relevant topic.

 

Once fully built, does anyone know which lenders will lend on timber frame and 100% timber clad for a 'normal' residential (i.e. not self-build) mortgage ? I already know of Ecology and Halifax (therefore Bank of Scotland also) but would like a longer list ! I may approach a broker but would like to inform myself as much as is reasonably possible from the start.

I would imagine it is widespread now. So many new apartments are timber or sips with cladding systems.

Hi David,

I just wanted to check how you got on with this please? As I have exactly the same question! 

Thanks,

Hi David.  

I'm also wondering how you got on as I'm in the same situation too. 

Regards.

Unless this is a planning condition that you cannot alter it is worth avoiding timber frame with timber clad as it will lower the value, may put off future purchasers and insurance and finance will be difficult.
