Our range of additional loan deals allow you to use some of the value in your home to help you get the things you want, such as extra funds to build an extension or a new kitchen, buy a new car or to go on a dream holiday.


Important information - Please note we do not currently offer additional lending for Buy to Let customers.

Repaying any additional lending

 

  • Payments for your additional loan will be collected along with your main mortgage payment each month.

  • You can choose the period over which you repay the additional loan. Either spread the payments over the same length term as your main mortgage, a minimum of 5 years; Or a longer period of up to a maximum of 40 years.

 

Interest Only lending

Please be aware that different criteria apply for interest only mortgages. Please see our lending criteria for further information.
 

Help to Buy Equity Loan Scheme

If your property was purchased under the Help to Buy Equity Loan Scheme and you still have an outstanding Equity Loan, different criteria applies. Please see our lending criteria for further information.

Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

If you have a Buy to Let property, then alternatively a receiver may be appointed (except in Scotland) to receive the rent and/or to sell the property. After sale, you will remain responsible for the payment of any mortgage shortfall debt.
