Non Standard Construction Mortgage

SynergiseUK introduces you to specialist mortgage brokers experienced in arranging mortgages for non-standard construction properties, offering access to a whole of market service and lenders with specialist property criteria.

Specialist Brokers for Non-Standard Construction Mortgages

SynergiseUK is not a broker.

We introduce you to a panel of Specialist Mortgage Brokers who support applicants purchasing or refinancing properties built using non-traditional construction methods, including:

  • Timber-framed properties

  • Steel-framed homes

  • Concrete construction properties

  • System-built and prefabricated homes

  • Thatched roof properties

  • Properties with flat roofs

  • Converted buildings and unique structures

These brokers understand how different construction types affect lender risk and valuation outcomes.

What Are Non-Standard Construction Mortgages?

A Non-Standard Construction Mortgage is designed for properties that are not built using traditional brick and block construction with tiled roofs.

Some lenders restrict lending on these property types, while specialist lenders offer:

  • Case-by-case underwriting

  • Property-specific risk assessment

  • Enhanced valuation processes

  • Lending on properties declined by high-street lenders

Specialist brokers identify lenders willing to consider each construction type.

Key Lending Considerations for Non-Standard Properties

When assessing non-standard construction mortgage applications, lenders may consider:

  • Construction method and materials used

  • Property age and condition

  • Maintenance history and future repair requirements

  • Valuation comments and surveyor reports

  • Mortgage term and loan-to-value ratio

  • Insurance availability and rebuild costs

Each factor influences lender appetite and available products.

Common Types of Non-Standard Construction

Specialist brokers regularly assist with mortgages on:

  • Timber frame and steel frame houses

  • Concrete construction (including PRC homes)

  • System-built and post-war housing

  • Thatched, flat roof, or partially flat roof homes

  • Barn conversions and converted churches

  • Eco homes and modern construction methods

Eligibility depends on property condition and lender criteria.

We introduce you to brokers who specialise in complex property types.

A mortgage is a long-term financial commitment and is not suitable for everyone.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it.

Interest rates may be fixed or variable. If you take a variable or tracker mortgage, your repayments could increase if interest rates rise. Changes to your personal circumstances — such as loss of income, illness, or increased living costs — could also affect your ability to meet repayments.

Mortgages often involve additional costs, including arrangement fees, legal fees, valuation fees, early repayment charges, and other lender or adviser fees. Extending the mortgage term may reduce monthly payments but can result in paying more interest overall and remaining in debt for longer.

You should carefully consider affordability now and in the future and seek professional advice before proceeding.

Important: Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
