Mortgagesnon-standard

Listedconsents

Valuehard to compare

In short: Unusual properties, such as converted churches, chapels, schools, fire stations, water towers, windmills and barns, can make remarkable homes. They also bring extra questions: some lenders won't lend on non-standard construction, many are listed, insurance can cost more, and value is harder to judge because there are few comparable sales. Fraser Bond can help you search, value and negotiate, and let or sell unusual property.

Churches & chapels

Big open spaces; check listing, burials and covenants.

Water towers

Dramatic views; check structure and access.

Windmills

Rare and often listed.

Fire & police stations

Urban conversions with character.

Barns

Rural conversions; check planning history.

Schools

Large buildings suited to family homes or flats.
