Borrow more on your mortgage
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up your payments
Additional borrowing allows you to borrow a lump sum of money against your property, known as a secured loan. You can borrow up to 90% of your home's value to get the funds you need.
Why borrow more on your mortgage?
- you may be able to borrow more and over a longer term on a mortgage compared to a personal loan. This can lower your monthly payments, however please note this may mean you pay more in interest over the longer term of your mortgage
- you can make unlimited overpayments to your additional borrowing and your existing mortgage. If you repay your mortgage in full earlier than planned, you may have to pay an Early Repayment Charge
- lower monthly repayments by paying it back over a longer period.
| Mortgage type | Minimum borrowing | Term |
|---|---|---|
| Capital repayment | £5000 | 2-40 years |
