Self Build Mortgage

Earl Shilton Building Society is a specialist self build mortgage lender, to include (subject to all relevant planning permissions) land purchase, buying a property to renovate and barn conversions. Properties with an agricultural tie or Section 106 restrictions can be considered. We can also consider a remortgage for a self-build project that has already started.

Details of our self build mortgage scheme is below. It may be possible for this to be interest only until the property is completed and you move in. Also when you move in, we will look to switch you to a product with a lower rate if one is available at that time.

We can consider lending up to 75% of the value of the land and up to 75% of the value as the works progress.

  • The Society’s discounted Standard Variable rate (SVR) mortgage schemes have their interest rate set at a specified “discount” level below our Standard Variable Rate (currently 8.39%) for a specific initial scheme period.
  • The initial scheme period for this product is 5 years meaning that the discount applies over a 5 year period. In this 5 year period the discount is 1.00% meaning you would pay a rate of 7.39% (8.39% – 1.00% discount). However, if the SVR rate increases you would have a higher interest rate than the rate quoted above and your monthly repayments would increase. Conversely, if the SVR rate decreased, you may have a lower interest rate than the rates quoted above and your monthly repayments may decrease. From Year 6 onwards the rate will be at the Society’s SVR meaning the rate then changes to what the SVR is at that time
