Borrowing more

Need a little extra? If you want to borrow a little more on top of your residential or buy-to-let mortgage, we can try to help make it happen. Whether you want to make home improvements, buy your freehold title, or need the money for something else.

If you have a mortgage with us and would like to borrow more, you’ll need to discuss this with us and go through an application process.

Things to know about borrowing more

• The additional borrowing will be secured against your property
• When your additional borrowing is combined with your existing mortgage, the total amount cannot exceed a set loan to value (LTV) threshold. Thresholds are 90% LTV for residential properties and 75% LTV for Buy To Let or Holiday Let properties. 
• The minimum term is 2 years and maximum term is 40 years
• No additional borrowing can be considered for at least 3 months from the start of your mortgage 
• You cannot borrow more if you are in arrears
• You must be able to demonstrate a satisfactory payment history
• Applications for additional borrowing are subject to the LTV and must meet our current lending requirements
