A new mortgage deal with additional borrowing
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Don’t risk losing your home – keep up those mortgage repayments
How much can I borrow and for how long?
- The minimum you can borrow is £3,000.
- The maximum depends on how much equity you have. If you have a residential mortgage you may be able to apply to borrow up to 85% of the property value (existing mortgage plus additional borrowing). The maximum you can borrow is £2 million.
- Buy-to-let customers can borrow a total (mortgage plus additional borrowing) of up to 80% of the property value, up to £1 million.
- You can choose to pay back any additional borrowing over 5 to 35 years. That said, the repayment term of any extra borrowing can’t be longer than the term left on the original mortgage.
- For residential mortgages, the maximum age at the end of the mortgage term is 75 years and 364 days.
- For buy to let mortgages the maximum age at the end of the mortgage term is 85 years and 364 days. If personal income is being used the maximum age is 75 years and 364 days at the end of term.
- Lending is subject to affordability, income confirmation, status, and a satisfactory valuation of the property. Policy restrictions and terms and conditions apply.
