By manufacturing key building elements off-site in controlled factory conditions, MMC removes the waste, weather delays and quality inconsistencies of traditional construction. The result is a faster, cleaner build with precise engineering, superior insulation and exceptional airtightness — homes that are warmer in winter, cooler in summer and significantly cheaper to run.

How do self build mortgages work?
Self build homes are built and paid for in stages, and you're unlikely to be able to draw enough from the value of your plot alone to cover all of your costs. Self build mortgages therefore release funds in stages as work progresses, rather than as a single payment. There are two types of self build mortgage: valuation-based and cost-based. The two types have very different features, so you must understand how any mortgage you choose will work - particularly how the lender decides how much money they'll give you at each stage of your build.
Valuation Based Mortgages
Valuation-based stage payment mortgages release funds after each stage of the building process is completed and a lender's valuation shows an uplift in value. This means you won't know how much money you'll get after each stage, so there is a real risk you won't get what you need, which could bring your build to a standstill. These may be more suitable for traditional building methods, where build costs are more evenly spread, where you already own your plot, or where you have more cash of your own to put into your build.
Cost Based Mortgages (guaranteed)
Cost-based stage payment mortgages provide guaranteed stage payments based on your build costs. Funds can be released before or after each build stage, depending on your payment schedule. There are no valuations during the build, so stage releases can be agreed as part of your mortgage application. This type of mortgage is exclusively available from BuildStore and works particularly well with a timber frame build, as you can get money from the lender towards the cost of your home before it's even on site.
How much can you borrow?
How much you can borrow depends on your financial circumstances. Like any mortgage, lenders will assess your income and outgoings to calculate what you can afford. For a valuation-based self build mortgage, the money your lender will release is typically restricted to 80% of their assessment of the value of your site at any time - you won't know how much is available to you until you ask for more money. With BuildStore's higher lending percentages, you could borrow up to 95% of your costs (100% if you already own your plot), with a maximum of up to 85% of the expected end value of your home. What's more, you'll be told as part of your mortgage application how much you'll receive at each stage of your build - guaranteed.
