FAQs
Can I borrow before planning permission?
Depends on lender and size/scope—often yes with detailed quotes.
Will a better EPC – Energy Performance Certificate help?
Potentially; some lenders incentivise greener homes.
What if my fix ends late in the build?
We’ll schedule products to avoid drifting onto the SVR – Standard Variable Rate.
