Mortgage to convert two houses into one

red_car · 2011-08-08 20:59:45

Hello, I need some advice - I am struggling to find a mortgage company who will lend us the money to convert two houses into one, and then modernise. I think there are concerns over the title deeds and other potential complications. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thank you all so much for all these comments. My brain is aching. Yes the problem is as described by several of you - title deeds and secutity, plus value of properties as separate and as joined, 2 generally seem to be of greater value than one. The hunt, via several brokers, continues......

Maybe the answer is to find a more appropriate property to "modernise".
As on commercial grounds there is no logic to what you are suggesting.
Unless money was no object.
