Mortgaging a house with large acreage

EmmetMcKnight

Myself and my wife are struggling to mortgage a house with 34 acres of land, when we initially seen the property I contacted a local mortgage advisor who assured me that he could get us a mortgage to purchase the property, we put our own house on the market, had a sale agreed within a couple of weeks and had an offer accepted on the property with 34 acres, that was back in October. On Friday we hand over the keys of our home and we still haven’t secured a mortgage for the property we want to buy, we will be renting for the first time in our lives. The house we want to buy is a detached bungalow constructed circa 1910, recently renovated and comes with 9 fields which make up 34 acres, it’s not a farm, it never has been a working farm and we have no intention of becoming farmers, the previous owners had previously leased some fields for grazing but we simply want the land for our own space and to keep animals as pets and enjoy the country side.

Might be better asking on the Mortgages board - there are brokers who hang out there.

What's the question? 

Go speak to a different mortgage broker, one used to dealing with rural properties perhaps.
