Borrowing more

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. 

Applying to borrow more on your mortgage is easy.  Here's what to expect:

1. Talk to us

Call us on 0800 121 8899.

We’ll ask questions about the property and assess your ability to make the monthly repayments.

2. We’ll send you an illustration

This will show details of the additional borrowing, which mortgage we recommend, any extra insurance requirements and our responsibilities to you.

3. Complete the application form

You'll need to complete, sign and return the application form to us.

4. We make a decision

Your application goes straight to our in‐house underwriters. They check the details, your income and the current value of your property.

5. We make an offer

If everything looks fine, we send you a mortgage offer. You’ll need to check it, sign it and return it to us.

6. The money is yours

After we’ve received your signed agreement, we send you your money – and you start making your monthly repayments.
