Self Build Mortgage Uk

One in ten of the new homes built every year in the UK is ‘self build’, i.e. an individually commissioned house, either built by the owners themselves, by a builder, or by a combination of both. You have the freedom to build the home you want, at a price you want. Your freedom to choose extends to everything: You choose your home plan or design. The consultants usually have got thousands of plan to choose from on our web site.

You pick the land and work with their experts to review the land before you buy. You choose the lending source. Self build mortgage UK is about picking the financing package that's best for your particular project from one of our many lenders. There are three basic choices of paying interest, namely Variable rate, where the rate can go up or down, fixed rate, where the rate is fixed for a pre-determined period, and capped, where the monthly payments have a maximum for a guaranteed period.


With a fixed rate Self build mortgage UK, you are guaranteed to pay a certain level of monthly payments for an agreed period. A capped mortgage is a combination of fixed and variable mortgage. There is a maximum rate over which you will not be charged for a certain period.

If the SVR falls below the cap, your payable rate follows it down. On the other hand, the variable rate mortgage means the interest rate may change. In general, the standard variable rate (SVR) charged by the mortgage lender will mirror the Bank of England Base rate, so you should monitor that rate to suggest what your mortgage rate may be.
