Planning Permission & How Much Can They Borrow

What, if any, planning permission is there?

Without planning permission, the maximum mortgage available will be limited to 50% of the value of the land and the land will need a minimum value of £100,000. Interest rates will be commercial land rates so have a premium of approximately 4% above a residential mortgage rate. You need at least outline planning permission for a Self-Build mortgage but there may be other mortgage options available. See below.

Given the above, how would the client like to proceed?

With outline planning permission, the maximum initial mortgage would be 80% of the value of the land.

Will 80% of the value of the land plus any applicable savings raise enough funds to complete the first stage of the build? i.e. to clear the site, access all services/utilities, and complete the foundations and footings?

That's great news, enter further details below and submit the form and we will be in touch.

If this is not sufficient is there any equity in other property assets that we can look to raise additional funds on to help achieve their aims?

That's great news, enter further details below and submit the form and we will be in touch.

It appears as though at present they do not have sufficient savings to progress with a Self-Build project but do play around with this tool to look at what they need to make this happen and when they have sufficient savings and are ready to proceed please do get back in touch.
