Buying a Property Under Challenging Circumstances

There are many different reasons securing a mortgage on a property can be challenging. Sometimes it’s less about the property’s construction and more about the circumstances surrounding it.

Buying a Property with Issues

Some properties may have issues that have occured over time, such as subsidence, Japanese knotweed, etc, that can limit the number of lenders willing to use it as security. This means you may require a specialist mortgage, as opposed to a traditional high street one. Learn more about some of the issues that can affect properties below.

Buying a Property in a Risky Location

Some properties are considered specialist properties because of their locations. For example, a house could be perfectly normal, but be close to a mineshaft or have a public footpath running through it. Because of the additional risk this exposure can pose to a property, you may require a niche deal for a specialist lender.

Buying a Renovated or Unique Property

Besides from the materials used for construction and the location of a property, a property can be deemed specialist and face eligibility challenges simply due to the type of property it is, or improvements or renovations it has undergone since its original construction. It’s also worth noting that some properties are common, so despite not being standard, they are still accepted by most lenders.

Learn more about specific property types and whether they require specialist property mortgages, below.

Specialist Borrower Requirements

The reason you may require a specialist property mortgage may have less to do with the property itself, and more to do with your circumstances, for example your job or intention for the property.
