Loans for Joint Freeholders

Hello
Does anybody know if it is possible for joint freeholders (x 4) to get loans for essential repairs to the building? any lender I have spoken to says only lend to max of 2? We are 4 flat owners who each own an equal share of the freehold on the entire property.

thank you :confused:

    Basically a very bad idea.

    Why not each person get a loan for 1/4 of the amount needed?
    then you will not be jointly liable if someone refuses to pay their share of the repayments
    also of course if you have a joint loan with these people then you are financially linked to them and if they have financial difficulties this could trash your credit rating.
