What is an agricultural mortgage?

An agricultural mortgage is a type of loan designed for farmers and agricultural businesses that want to borrow over £25,000. The mortgage is secured on your land or premises.

An agricultural mortgage can be used for

Buying land

Borrow over a longer time 

Choose your mortgage term over a period of 1 to 25 years and make repayments to suit your business cashflow – monthly, quarterly or annually.

Flexible terms available 

Choose either fixed or variable rates with the option to switch your selection during the mortgage term. Fixed interest rates available from 1 to 10 years.
