Non-standard construction
Concrete, steel frame, timber and thatch are not one category. Name the material. A surveyor can identify it if the listing is vague.
What this page will not do
- This page does not keep a list of lenders who accept a material.
- Timber frame and thatch have their own pages because the questions differ.
- It will not name a lender, a product, or an approval chance.
Questions
- Will a survey make it acceptable?
- A survey describes the building. It does not bind a lender.
- Is cavity-wall insulation non-standard?
- No. Non-standard here means the structure, not a retrofit measure.
MortgageConnector is a mortgage broker introducer and information service. We do not provide regulated mortgage advice. Where appropriate, we can introduce you to an FCA-authorised mortgage broker who can assess your circumstances and provide advice.
The matching service is free for you. Partner brokers pay MortgageConnector for introductions. If you ask for an introduction, the details you submit are shared with the selected partner. The broker is responsible for regulated advice. Check the firm on the FCA Register.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
These figures are illustrative.
An FCA-authorised broker can look at the actual income, credit and property. MortgageConnector introduces you. We do not choose the mortgage.
