Do mortgage providers have a problem with Metal Roofs? I've found a property in my budget range which has a metal roof (in good condition) can I get a mortgage? a friend said not

Will usually come down to the surveyors opinion.
The house is the security for the mortgage and as such should be durable and readily saleable to a non restricted market place, so that in the event of repossession the asset can be realised readily.
My gut feel is most if not all lenders will decline such a roof.0 -
Thanks for advice. I live in an area where many cottages have metal roofs, (the one I am interested in is at present a holiday let) so do you think local mortgage providers would be more sympathetic?0
