What to expect when mortgaging a New Build property
Although building a new build property is a great way to get onto the housing ladder, not all lenders will lend on new build properties, particularly new build flats. Those who do have specific limits on how much you can borrow compared to the property value; this often requires you to have a larger deposit compared to buying a similar re-sale property.
