Borrowing money for home improvements against a mortgage free property
Hi,
I recently inherited a property that is mortgage free but the only offers we are getting at the moment are scandalously low (£40k) and I'm thinking of borrowing some money against the property, completing some refurbishments (it is in a bit of a state and needs replastering, rewiring, new kitchen etc) and then putting it back on the market.
Will a bank / mortgage lender be interested in a short term secured loan? Any ideas / guidance gratefully received.

You could look at an equity release loan for the property but make sure you do your homework on what your ceiling price is,0

mortgage companies will lend 40K on the property if you meet their lending criteria
i.e. income, loan to value ratio, credit history, age0
