Regarding Shell/Unhabitable Properties

Hello,

I want to ask a question about these types of properties. From what I can gather no bank or mortgage company will lend, is this correct or is a conditional mortgage offer an alternative?

I have seen a property which is in a complete unhabitable condition, meaning that it has nothing in the property. What's the usual circumstance with this scenario?

Thanks

    Self build/renovation/conversion/staged mortgage. You need to speak with a specialist broker. You can get a mortgage, but will need a huge deposit. High street lenders won't touch it.
