Folks,

Currently the missus and myself have a modest mortgage for our house with a bank. We were curious, is it possible to get a mortgage for a piece of land? We're looking at the idea of buying a piece of land, keeping our existing house and in a few years time, subject to planning permission of course, building on the land and renting the house out.

Many thanks.
