With us you can feel confident when speaking with the lender
We start with the exact building system and any available survey or repair documents, rather than treating every concrete home alike. Our advisers check relevant lender criteria alongside your income, credit history and deposit or equity.
We explain what further evidence may be needed, help compile the application and liaise with the lender on your behalf. This gives you a clearer route to suitable finance before you commit to the purchase or a remortgage.
What Affects a Mortgage on a Concrete House?
The Exact Construction System
Concrete houses can use different building methods, including precast reinforced concrete (PRC) and concrete poured on site. Lenders do not treat every system in the same way.
Ask the seller or estate agent for the construction name and any supporting reports. If it is unclear, a suitably qualified surveyor may need to identify it.
Previous Repairs and Certificates
Some PRC systems have been designated defective. These properties may be unacceptable to a lender unless repairs meet its requirements.
Where repairs have been completed, the lender may require an acceptable repair certificate and details of the work. A certificate can support the assessment, but does not guarantee approval.
Condition, Valuation and Future Saleability
The lender’s valuer considers whether the property provides suitable security, including its condition and how readily it could be sold.
A mortgage valuation is not a detailed survey for your benefit. A building survey or structural engineer’s report may be appropriate to investigate the construction and any concerns before purchasing.
