Andrew,

I take it you mean as a description for post and beam and not loadbearing as 
you wrote?

and Neale
I thought you were asking about experience in selling a SB house, but if 
it's just a mortgage you are looking for Ecology BS as mentioned, and 
Virgin, and Triodos, but I don't think they will go up to 100%, although I 
think they could be persuaded.

Neale,

I am currently working on two newbuilds in Yorkshire.  Whilst I don't have 
any
direct experience of Open Market sales, I am aware that a main financier of 
such
mortgages would be the Ecology Building Society.  I am also aware that in 
the
recent past , those seeking to insure their houses have referred to straw 
bale
load bearing houses as "timber frame with cellulose insulation" to overcome
insurance company concerns.

regards
Andrew

Hi

I'm researching SB housing in the UK and am trying to find out if any
have been built for sale on the open market and if so what the
purchasers experiences were in mortgaging the property and who the
lenders were

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated

Regards

Neale
