Hi there,


Does anyone have any experience in getting a mortgage on an ex local authority building? Banks are nervous on lending following the recession in c.2008 and I hoped someone may know of a broker (or bank) who had experience in this kind of thing?


Any advice is appreciated,


Simon

Hi Simon


I have a residential mortgage on an ex-local authority flat (Southwark Council). We had no trouble getting the mortgage (Nationwide, applied May/June 2015). Happy to send you details of our mortgage broker if you would like. Also happy to discuss/give any other advice.

    • Can you explain why some residents would be made homeless if they are building more accommodation?
    • Hate people who let off loud fireworks.  We had neighbours two doors down who used to let off the extremely loud fireworks in their back garden.   This was usually, but not always, on the days around Guy Fawkes and New Year’s.  It was torture.  I felt as if I was in the middle of them and it seemed as if they were directly outside our windows. I often involuntarily screamed as they were so loud and startling.  The dog was petrified and I was worried they would crash into the house or garden. Thankfully they’ve moved and taken their firework obsession with them.  I know someone whose dog collapsed and died during a bout of neighbourly fireworks.  Many dogs and cats go missing during firework season due to trying to escape from them.
    • Hi, We are looking at a property on Croxted Road near the Turney Road across the Garden Centre). I wanted to get people's sense on: 1. Road and train-line noise (house is on side sandwiched between street and the rail line) 2. Secondary schooling - lots of good state primaries, but I don't think there is a catchment for a good secondary The proximity to Herne Hilla and Dulwich Villages is nice as are properties on that street, but bit concerned about the above especially given required mortgage levels we might not be able to do private secondary. Thanks
