Types of Loan Available Through AMC

AMC’s Standard Loan offers flexibility allowing you to borrow from £25,001 upwards over an agreed term from 5 to 30 years, with loan structures that can adopt Interest-only or Variable and Fixed rate* repayment (annuity) lending.

* There is always a possibility that interest rates may go down leaving a fixed rate loan at a higher level compared to a variable rate loan. However, if interest rates rise, a fixed rate loan will remain at the same rate for the agreed fixed term.

Rural Business Loan

An alternative long term mortgage product for established and diversified rural businesses not operating in the core agricultural sector.

The Rural Business Loan offers many of the same benefits available through the Standard Loan although is provided on a repayment (annuity) basis for a term of up to 30 years or until the youngest applicant’s 75th birthday.
