    there are quite a few that lend on the purchase price plus on development costs. others lend on the final price.

    might be an idea to speak to a fee free mortgage broker on that board.

    Hi,

    Assuming that you are already a homeowner you could get a 'Home improvement loan' on the existing property and this is likely to be a better bet.

    If not, there are several schemes that you might want to consider but many are dependant on your income.

    A self-Cert mortgage might be suitable.

    Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
