How do self build mortgages work?

self build homes are built and paid for in stages. To align with this process, self build mortgages release funds in stages rather than as a single payment. There are two types of self build mortgage, and the type that you will require depends on these factors:

• How funds are released during the build
• Whether your stage payments are subject to an increase in the value of works completed
• Whether your stage payments are guaranteed based on your costs

You may be eligible for a Valuation-Based Stage Payment Mortgage, in which funds are released after each stage of the building process is completed and a valuation shows an uplift in value. This mortgage may not suit build payment terms for customers who have selected timber frame constructions.

You may instead be eligible for the BuildStore Cost-Based Stage Payment Mortgage, in which guaranteed payments are based on your build costs and released either before or after each build stage, depending on your payment schedule.

How much can you borrow?

How much you can borrow depends on your financial circumstances and how much you can afford. Like any mortgage, lenders will assess your income and outgoings to calculate how much they are willing to lend you.

For a standard self build mortgage, you can typically borrow up to 75% of your project costs. With BuildStore’s higher lending percentages, you could borrow up to 95%, or 100% if you already own your plot, with a maximum of up to 85% of the expected end value of your home.
