Which Properties Can You Use for a Loan Against Property?

Not every property can be mortgaged. Lenders want property that is legally clear and easy to sell if ever needed.

Usually accepted

  • Self-occupied or rented homes – flats and independent houses with clear title.
  • Commercial property – shops, offices and showrooms.
  • Industrial property – some lenders accept factories and warehouses, often at a lower loan share.

Often refused or limited

  • Agricultural land.
  • Property without approved plans or with unauthorised construction.
  • Property with disputed or unclear title, or pending court cases.
  • Very old buildings in poor condition.
  • Plots in unapproved layouts.

Joint and inherited property

All owners must agree and sign. For inherited property, the succession or transfer must be completed and recorded before applying.

Before you apply

  • Check that property tax is paid and approvals are in place.
  • Get an encumbrance certificate.
  • Gather the full chain of title papers.
