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.

Want a broker to look at your own numbers?
An FCA-authorised broker can look at your income, credit and the property. MortgageConnector will introduce you. We do not recommend a mortgage.
