If your client is an existing borrower and wishes to borrow more they will need to take a further advance on a new product, subject to lending policy. You can view our products available using the links below. Please note: existing borrower cases cannot be submitted online. Please read our existing borrower application process for more information.
Exceptions
If your client is an existing Offset or Flexx for Term borrower they may be able to borrow more on their existing product, subject to our affordability requirements (for residential borrowing), lending policy and the product LTV.
Note: Clients can only have one Flexx for Term Product per mortgage account held with ourselves. Clients with an Offset facility who are looking to borrow more can do so on the same term and product subject to LTV limits. If they would like an alternative arrangement they will need to complete a Product Transfer.
Clients wishing to port their mortgage and borrow less than £5,000 don’t need to apply for a further advance product. They could add this to their existing mortgage product, subject to lending policy and their mortgage terms and conditions. For more information on how to apply visit our porting page (fees may apply). Please note: existing borrower cases cannot be submitted online. Please read our existing borrower application process for more information.

Existing clients who have had a mortgage with us for at least six months and have made six consecutive payments within the last six months are eligible to borrow more with a further advance product.
