Mortgage on converted property
FTB1234_2
Posts: 11 Forumite
Hello
Have seen a flat we love, but it is a conversion (within an old fire station). The vendor was unsure about when the conversion was done - he thinks it was post-2000, but more than 5 years ago - but obviously wasn't sure. We'll obviously check with agent/his partner, but I wanted to ask - what are the rules re: (possibly) recently converted properties and mortgages - is it a 75% LTV limit? And how 'recent' in terms of years does the conversion need to have been, in order for the flat to be considered a 'new build/conversion'?
Thank you v much in advance!

It would only be classed as a newbuild conversion if you were to be the first to live in it following its conversion.
