How does it work?
What happens next?
Once you’ve made an appointment with our qualified and friendly Mortgage Adviser, they’ll be able to tell you how much extra you could borrow, as well as recommend a product that’s suitable for your needs and provide you with an illustration of what your monthly payments might be. Part of this will involve checking your credit reference file. When you’re happy to go ahead, our adviser will submit the paperwork for you and we’ll take care of the rest.
Some things to be aware of
If you’ve decided to go ahead with some additional borrowing on a mortgage then you may need a new valuation (sometimes called a ‘revaluation’). If a revaluation applies, there is a £70 valuation fee to pay which is non-refundable.
