So I bought 3 fields with a mill to convert into a dwelling. Got planning and a self build mortgage.
Recently the lenders asked for photos and info on progress. I thought it relevant to tell them about my Stewardship grant and works creating a small farm, as this obviously adds value.
You can read below how they now want out. Ridiculous. If all the other self build lenders (of which there are few) feel the same, I am screwed.
Maybe if I take the sheep off the land until I finish (prob 2 yrs) they will reconsider.
Nightmare.
Unfortunately, as the applicant has now confirmed that he has secured a Countryside Stewardship from Defra to enable him to hold livestock we are no longer able to assist with continuation of the self-build as the security now falls outside the Standard Society Policy.
