To simplify the process and help you secure the right smallholding mortgage with expert guidance every step of the way.
Owning a smallholding can be a dream come true, offering a balance of countryside living and potential income from farming, livestock, or rental opportunities. However, securing a mortgage for a smallholding isn’t always straightforward. Many high street lenders struggle to assess the unique financial aspects of smallholdings, such as mixed-use land, agricultural restrictions, and non-standard income sources.
Traditional mortgage criteria often don’t account for the complexities of smallholding ownership. Some lenders have strict acreage limits, while others may be hesitant about properties with agricultural ties or additional buildings such as barns, workshops, or rental cottages. Without expert guidance, you risk delays, declined applications, or being offered a deal that doesn’t truly fit your needs.

Discover how to overcome these challenges.
Client Profile: David & Rebecca, a couple in their early 50s, wanted to purchase a detached former farmhouse with outbuildings and 7.5 acres of land as their private residence but faced challenges due to its Grade II listed status.
The Challenge: David and Rebecca found their dream countryside home—a beautiful Grade II listed farmhouse with significant land. However, many lenders were hesitant to offer a mortgage due to the property’s historical status and the extensive grounds, assuming it might have commercial or agricultural use.
The Solution: I sourced a specialist lender who understood the complexities of financing a listed rural property for personal use. By clearly demonstrating that the smallholding had no commercial or agricultural ties, I structured the application to highlight their financial stability and long-term residential intentions.
The Outcome: The mortgage was approved, enabling David and Rebecca to move into their dream farmhouse with confidence, securing a loan that met their needs without unnecessary commercial restrictions.
Testimonial:
“We never realised how difficult it could be to secure a mortgage for a Grade II listed property with land, even when it was purely for residential use. Lyndsey’s knowledge of specialist lenders made all the difference—he found us the perfect mortgage, making the process smooth and stress-free. We’re now enjoying our beautiful farmhouse, thanks to his expertise!” – David & Rebecca M.
Client Profile: Emma W., a 29-year-old veterinary nurse, wanted to buy a smallholding with a cottage and stables but needed a guarantor to meet affordability requirements.
The Challenge: Emma’s income alone didn’t meet the lender’s affordability criteria, making it difficult to secure a mortgage for her dream smallholding.
The Solution: To strengthen her application, I introduced the option of using a guarantor—an immediate family member with a strong financial profile. This gave the lender added security, improving Emma’s affordability assessment.
The Outcome: The remortgage was approved, allowing Emma to secure her ideal rural home with manageable repayments.
Testimonial:
“Lyndsey went above and beyond to help me secure my smallholding mortgage. I wouldn’t have been able to afford it on my own, but he introduced the option of using a guarantor, which made all the difference. Thanks to his expertise, I now have my dream home with land for my horses!” – Emma W.

Client Profile: Michael & Lisa, a couple in their late 40s, owned a smallholding with 12 acres of land and wanted to remortgage to release equity for renovations and improvements.
