Thatched Property Mortgage

Thatched Property Mortgage

At RockHopper we work with a number of clients who have asked us to arrange a mortgage on a house with a thatched roof – whether that be long straw thatch, combed wheat reed thatch or water reed thatch.

We are able to assist clients looking to arrange residential or buy to let mortgages for this type of property.

We often find that clients who are looking to purchase or remortgage a house with a thatched roof are turned down by Banks and Building Societies as they do not like the fact that part of the property is thatched and are worried about the lifespan and repair costs of the roof.

Clients approaching us to arrange a mortgage are often frustrated, that although their plans make sense, they have spoken to a number of lenders who will simply not consider a mortgage because  of the nature of the property with the thatched roof.
