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 
thanks

thanks

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
