Self build mortgage advice NI
What is a self build mortgage?
If you’re building your own home, either down the DIY route, or by employing an entire team of experts; chances are you’re going to need funding. Lenders will not provide you with a standard residential mortgage in a situation like this, you will need a self build mortgage.
The biggest difference is that the lender will give you the capital in stages throughout the project, this is to ensure that the money is spent as you planned and you don’t run out before the build is completed.
A huge advantage of building your own home and getting a self build mortgage in Northern Ireland is stamp duty. Stamp duty isn’t charged on the cost of building the house or the value once completed – it is only applied on the value of the land, if it worth more than a certain amount.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
