getting mortgage for property requires rennovation

Hello every one ,

I am a first time buyer and I have 10% deposit for a property woth 125K but this property requires additional 50-60K worth rennovation. I am not sure if the banks would lend me 150K. Could any one advice me if they had any experience in a similar situation.

thanks in advance

Raj

    For a renovation project you will need much more than 10% deposit raj.
