Additional Borrowing

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) update

Last updated: Thursday 26 March

In light of latest government instructions around the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, the market is temporarily suspending all face-to-face property valuations. This means we are temporarily unable to offer any new mortgages for residential or buy-to-let purchases, and may not be able to proceed with remortgage applications requiring a physical valuation.

We will continue to update this message as the situation develops and hopefully will have products to offer you in the near future.

Borrow up to 90% of your property value

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 90% of the value of your home. Apart from products that offer cashback, 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.
