Listed buildings and mortgages

Securing a mortgage for a listed building can be a unique and rewarding experience, but it can come with its own set of challenges.

Listed buildings, recognised for their historical and architectural significance, are subject to strict regulations to ensure the character and heritage are preserved for generations to come.

Listed buildings can require specialised maintenance and renovations, which can impact the mortgage process. Lenders typically assess these applications with greater scrutiny, considering factors such as the property’s marketability and the costs associated with its upkeep. Taking out a mortgage whether for the first time or remortgaging after your preferential rate comes to an end may have some hurdles, but with the right guidance and a knowledgeable broker, obtaining a mortgage for a listed building is certainly achievable.

Your mortgage and insurance, working together

Finding a mortgage that’s right for you and your listed home can be time consuming and confusing. That’s where, much like with listed home insurance, working with a specialist broker can make the process less daunting, clearer and less time intensive.
