Compare Mortgage Deals For Barn Conversions

A barn conversion project can be a very attractive proposition to people who don’t mind a challenge. Barns available for conversion are often situated in stunning rural locations and can offer a unique and cost-effective way to get the home you want – provided that you are prepared to put the work in!

Even before the conversion process commences, it’s vital to get the correct finance in place to fund your barn conversion project.

Getting the right mortgages for barn conversions

With any conversion or renovation project, securing the correct finance is usually the first step in the road to success. However, a large number of standard high street mortgage providers will provide mortgage deals only for properties that are in a habitable condition i.e. that can be lived in without significant renovations. ‘Habitable’ is usually defined by mortgage providers as a building that is secure, weatherproof and has plumbing and power.

Generally speaking, a barn is unlikely to be any of these things – so you will probably need to get hold of a specialist mortgage deal in order to convert a barn into a home. If you want to buy and convert a barn that is in a derelict state, you will have to approach a specialist lender.

Mortgage deals for barn conversion projects

If you are planning to convert a barn into a habitable dwelling, your mortgage requirements may well differ from those of a more conventional home purchaser. For example, you may find it more beneficial to get your mortgage funds gradually – first to finance the purchase of the barn, and then to fund the renovations – rather than as a single sum.

Some mortgage providers may offer to lend you up to 95% of the purchase and building costs in total, but this will very much depend on your personal circumstances. Our specialist mortgage team can help you to find the right barn conversion mortgage deal for you.

You may be able to get the necessary funds released for each stage of the build to allow you to purchase building materials and pay building workers and tradespeople. As an example, you may be able to get a mortgage provider to release the money for your barn conversion project in instalments, such as:

Step one

Release of the necessary funds to buy a barn. Bear in mind that you will need to provide the deposit to do so, as with any mortgage deal.

Step two

The initial cost of basic renovations on the barn structure i.e. making the existing structure secure and weatherproof. This may include roof repairs and wall renovations.

Step three

Final touches, such as making the barn conversion fully inhabitable with plumbing, wiring and decorating.
