Overview
Labour camp finance is for property used or let as housing for workers. Companies may want to own accommodation for their workforce, and investors may buy accommodation to let. It is a specialist form of commercial property finance.
What lenders usually look at
- The property: location, size, title and condition
- Licences, approvals and the permitted use of the property
- How the accommodation is occupied or let, and the income behind it
- The borrower’s company documents and financial evidence
- The lender’s own valuation
Lender appetite for this type of property varies, and each case is assessed individually. Checking early which lenders may consider your property can save time.
What to check first
- That the licence and permitted use are in order
- Who owns the property and who will be the borrower

Worth knowing
Lender appetite for labour accommodation varies and each case is assessed individually.
Licensing, permitted use, approvals and the lease or business income can all matter.
What to consider first
- 01

Labour accommodation often depends on specific licences or permitted use. Confirm yours before you approach lenders.
- 02
Prepare company and occupancy evidence
Expect to show company documents and the lease or income arrangements that support the property.
- 03
Check lender appetite early
Appetite varies between lenders and properties, so confirm early which lenders may consider yours.
Documents lenders usually ask for
You don’t need any of these to make an enquiry. We’ll confirm exactly what your lender needs.
- Title deed or sale agreement for the property
- Licences, approvals and details of permitted use
- Lease agreements or details of how the accommodation is used or let
- Trade licence and company documents
- Two to three years of financial statements and company bank statements
