Smallholding Mortgages
Finding finance to help you buy a smallholding can be difficult.
Your plans may not fit with lender’s criteria or you may be looking to buy a house with occupancy restrictions which lenders are cautious of.
On top of that, you're looking for the best finance to match your current needs but also to set a solid foundation for your business and family in the future.
Getting that right starts with getting the best advice and support at an early stage in your project or move planning.
Having established you have a realistic opportunity to secure funding, we prepare lending proposals, put them to several appropriate lenders and negotiate terms on your behalf.
We then guide you and your mortgage through every step to a successful completion.

5 things you may find useful if you're new to smallholdings
- You may have previously bought a home with a mortgage on a 4x salary basis. Commercial lending works differently - a change of mindset helps equip you for the journey.
- Prepare yourself for a longer journey. Commercial mortgages tend to take longer to organise than residential mortgages - think months rather than weeks.
- Lenders will ask for a ‘shopping list’ of information - you can find many aspects of this in this Business Plan Guide and includes a cashflow forecast. You'll find more answers on the FAQ page.
- Key to success is building the right business case to go to lenders with.
- Please remember - even the best prepared plans won’t have everything in place... and we're on hand to help you.
