At Credit Union Mortgages, we offer specific self-build mortgages as well as our standard mortgage. A self-build mortgage differs because the money is released in up to 5 stages during the building process as opposed to one lump sum at the start.

While a self-build mortgage may seem more complicated, it isn’t really, our team can help you with the entire process so you can build your dream home.

Contact your local Credit Union, we’ll be happy to answer any questions you have and start the process for you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Are The Costs Involved?

Buying a home costs money, we all know that. But there are more costs than you may initially think, costs you can’t account for if you’re not aware of them. We don’t believe in hiding anything, so here’s a rough breakdown of additional costs you can expect. Naturally, every case is different, our team can talk to you in more detail about your specific costs. 

Stamp Duty

This is a tax associated with transferring the property deeds into your name.

Conveyancing Fees

The legal fees for the work completed by the solicitor when buying or selling property.

Mortgage Valuation

Before your mortgage can complete, your lender will need to check if the property is worth the value you are spending on it. This is done through an independent mortgage valuation and costs can vary.

Insurance

Not only will you want to set up home insurance for your new property, you will also need to have life or mortgage insurance in place before your mortgage can complete. The amount here will depend on the property itself and the amount you’re borrowing.
