Hi,
I have had a bricked up cornish style house for the last 13 years and my halifax deal is coming to an end. Fed up and disgusted by the 'existing' customer fee's I want to look at mortgaging elsewhere.
This is a similar house to mine. I have the PRC certificate. However the house next door is council owned and has not been bricked up. Neither were subject to concrete cancer ( which was only in houses done in a certain timeframe )
http://www.the-mortgage.co.uk/concrete.htm See the cornish units
I think barclays/woolwich do mortgages for these? But does anyone know of any others please? Or know someone else who has one of these and what mortgage providers they might use?
Many thanks.

Lenders that consider these will all want fees at least as high as Halifax when you also consider things like interim interest.
Trust me Woolwich Barclays service is a lot worse than Halifax.
Halifax needs to make a profit to pay the shareholders, and the most signifacnt holders are out pension providers than need the dividents (profits) to pay retired peoples pensions.
It's all very well being an mse 'everything should be cheap' type, but it's a lot more complex than the divs at Which would ever realise. No doubt Which magazine journalists earn plenty - yet they want everyone else to offer things for bargain prices, wierd.0 -
The type of house is not in the equation. Thats just the offers on their front page TBH
Halifax are great at the hidden money grab IMHO, the new customer fee is half. Thats taking the P!%%
Just want to know who else has one of these and who provides the mortgage.
Thanks0
