What is a further advance mortgage
A further advance is when you increase borrowing from your current mortgage lender, typically at a different rate than your main mortgage.
Why apply for a Further Advance Mortgage?
There could be a number of reasons to opt for this type of mortgage but typically they are best suited if your lender’s further advance is competitive and you don’t wish to remortgage or switch to another lender. They generally also have a lower interest rate than taking out a personal loan.
Would I be eligible for a Further Advance Mortgage?
Lenders will have different criteria for authorising such a loan, and it is usually based on the purpose for increasing your borrowing.
New purchases
The funds raised could be used to buy a new car, pay for a family event such as a wedding or funeral or to put a deposit on another property.
Financial help for a family member
The funds raised could be used to fund certain gifts or provide financial support such as enabling a family member to get on the property ladder.
Debt consolidation
The funds raised could be used for paying off other debts such as personal loans or credit cards, streamlining payments and saving on interest.
Home Improvements
The funds raised could be used for much-needed home improvements and maintenance including property extensions.
The Steps to further advance solutions
A further advance means borrowing more money from your existing mortgage lender. Taking out a further advance is often used towards home improvements or for a deposit towards a second property purchase.
