Self Build - what type of mortgage?

Hi

I am looking for some advice in relation to obtaining a mortgage for a self build which we are planning to undertake.

I am aware of the existance of self build mortgages which release the money in phases depending on the work carried out.

Is it possible to get a normal repayment mortgage for this build or must we opt of the self build mortgage? I have been looking at the mortgage calculators and I'm not sure how to value the property for the LTV.

How is this done and can I opt for a 'normal' repayment mortgage? Is this my best option - I am aware that the IR on a self build mortgage is slightly higher than a repayment option.


Thanks.
