Health Insurance is probably one of the most important types of insurance you can own. Without it, an illness or accident can have serious long-term financial implications for you and your family.Read More
Often, people save for a specific reason and it's usually the safest way to build up a pot of money. It’s less risky than investing, but it offers limited growth. The most you'll earn on the money you save is the interest added. Saving is perfect for people who don’t want to take any risks with their money, and most savings accounts have easy access or are for a fixed term.Read More
All businesses are exposed to risks in their day-to-day operations. Without business insurance cover to provide protection against some of these risks, businesses would find it difficult to operate efficiently and profitably.Read More
When you retire you still need food and shelter as an absolute minimum, but of course you will want to maintain the lifestyle to which you have become accustomed, so unless you can guarantee a large inheritance or windfall, then you need to provide yourself with a secure income for the rest of your life.Read More

Self Build Mortgages

For those who want to build their own home, a conventional residential mortgage is not an option. Instead, the self-builder would need to apply for a self-build mortgage. Not every lender is active in the self-build mortgage market and those that are, tend to charge a higher rate of interest for self-build mortgages. Self-build mortgages involve regular site inspections, and additional administrative tasks and are deemed to carry more risk for the lender than conventional mortgages do. Also, the self-build mortgage application can take longer to process than average — five or six months is not unusual.

Key requirements

The lender will want to see detailed plans for the property, an accurate build cost projection, and building regulations approval and would expect, at the very least, outline planning permission to have been granted. Rather than the borrower taking on the build, lenders are likely to require a professional builder or a qualified project manager to be appointed.

Deposit and lending criteria

Lenders will employ a professional valuer to assess the property’s market value on completion and during the build. If the mortgage provider considers the project viable, the amount they’re willing to advance will be determined by a range of factors such as build type, construction methods and materials used, and the property’s location. The lender will also take account of the borrower’s credit history and judge whether they can afford to make the loan repayments or not.

As most lenders will not advance more than 75% of the current value of the land and a similar amount against the build costs, the self-build borrower has to find a larger deposit than normal. Some providers require the mortgagor to have bought the land prior to applying for the mortgage.

Stage-by-stage funding

Houses are built in stages, which is why self-build mortgage funds are released in stages. Precisely when each advance is made — either at the beginning or on completion of each stage — depends on the lender’s policy. Where applicable, the first advance is used to help buy the land on which the property will be built. Subsequent advances are made (subject to the valuer’s approval) once the foundations have been laid, at the point when construction reaches the level of the eaves, as soon as the property is watertight, and when the interior walls have been plastered. The final advance materialises when the property is ready for occupation.
