As a leading provider of self build and renovation mortgages, we’ve helped many people realise their ambition to build their own dream home. We understand the entire process from start to finish, so you can rely on the Melton to help.
Self build projects require funds to be made available in stages as the house is being built. The Melton is one of a few lenders who will also lend to purchase the land with outline planning permission, as well as releasing funds in advance of each build stage – the Melton Advance Self Build Mortgage. The Melton also offers a Standard Self Build Mortgage which provides stage payments in arrears, together with an Eco Mortgage with a special discounted rate that recognises investment in energy efficient features.
At the end of your self build project you can transfer to a standard mortgage with the Society without incurring early repayment charges. You can also pay a lump sum off at the end of the build when you complete a scheme transfer and the Society will waive the early repayment charges. This is particularly helpful for customers who may have savings they had kept aside for contingency for the build or if they have reclaimed VAT at the end of the self build project that they want to use to reduce the mortgage balance.
You can also have the mortgage on an interest only basis during the build – this is particularly helpful if living in rented accommodation during the build or if choosing to stay in existing housing with a monthly mortgage payment. Our self build and renovation mortgages may also be suitable for conversions.
