Additional Borrowing

Fixed and variable rates available

No fees payable upfront for application

Are you looking to borrow additional funds on your mortgage for home improvements, a new car or a special purchase?

If you already have a mortgage with us and you and your property are eligible for further borrowing, then one of our advisers could help.

You may be able to borrow from £10,000, often up to 85% of the value of your home. Additional borrowing is available on any of our remortgage products. It's worth considering if other forms of borrowing are more suitable for you as any money we lend through additional borrowing will be secured against your property and your overall mortgage balance will increase.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
