Borrowing more
If you’ve had your mortgage with us for at least six months and you’ve made six consecutive monthly mortgage payments, you can apply to borrow more.
You might need some help to pay for essentials like home repairs or improvements. As long as you can afford it and your total borrowing is less than 95% Loan to Value on a repayment mortgage, 50% on an Interest-only mortgage (65% LTV if self-employed) or 75% on a Buy to Let mortgage, you could apply to borrow more money.
Further borrowing for Buy to Let mortgages is available subject to lending policy.
How much could I borrow?
To work out how much you could borrow, we’ll consider the value of your property, and take into account your income, financial commitments and our lending criteria.
You'll effectively be taking out a new mortgage for the extra borrowing. But we can arrange for you to make one monthly payment that covers both your existing mortgage and your new one.

If you’d like to talk to us face-to-face, then you could speak to one of our specialist mortgage advisors about how much you’d like to borrow. We don’t have advisors in all our branches but if you call us on 0800 121 8899, we'll be able to help.
Alternatively, you can speak to one of our mortgage advisors in our Customer Service Centre.
As a minimum, you’ll need your most recent payslip or your accounts if you’re self-employed.
