Short answer：There is no single mortgage ratio for every village house. Verify floor ownership, transfer restrictions, compliance documents, access rights and lender valuation for the specific property.
Documents before assurances
Have a solicitor check the lease, title, approvals and any premium or transfer restrictions. Roofs, gardens, parking and access must be confirmed from documents rather than current occupation.
Budget against the accepted security
Ask what the valuation covers, the proposed term and required documents. Do not import ordinary estate mortgage-insurance assumptions. Resolve the transaction and financing implications of alterations or missing records before committing.
Before deciding
- Check access and service rights
- Verify which external areas are included
- Plan for a lending shortfall
