Further Borrowing

Whatever your plans we can help. As an existing mortgage customer, whether you're consolidating debt, planning home improvements or buying a new car - if you’re considering Intelligent Finance or you already have a mortgage with us you can release some of the money tied up in your home over a term that suits you.

There are three ways you can do this;

Pre-Agreed reserve

When you applied for your mortgage we may have offered you a mortgage reserve facility, which is called a pre-agreed reserve. To check if you have a pre agreed reserve available, please log in to your secure online banking and select 'mortgage'.

• Borrow from £1,000 up to a pre-approved level, subject to some final checks
• Fast and efficient - funds will be paid into your account within 1 working day (if you have a Intelligent Finance Current Account or Savings account, or 4 days if going to an external account.

If you don't have a pre-agreed reserve and want to release your equity, why not apply for a further advance?

Built up reserve

You can borrow back the amount you have built up from making regular and lump sum overpayments into your mortgage. To see your built-up reserve pre-approved level log in to your secure online banking and select 'mortgage'.

• Minimum of £1,000
• Fast and efficient – funds will be paid into your account within 1 working day (if you have an Intelligent Finance current or savings account or 4 days if going to an external account.)

Further Advance

• Borrow up to 95% of the value of your property (subject to affordability checks)
• Minimum of £1,000
• £160 Arrangement Fee.

Whichever option, the interest is charged daily and it's hassle free as your monthly mortgage repayments simply increase to cover the loan repayments.
