A word on additional borrowing You could release some of the money locked up in your home for home improvements or anything else. You could borrow from £10,000 and repay the additional borrowing over the same number of years you have left on your mortgage, or sooner if you’d like to. Any additional borrowing will be secured on your home and will increase the total amount you pay back. And it’s important to remember you could end up paying more interest if you choose to borrow over a longer term.

On a fixed or tracker mortgage you can overpay 10% of your mortgage balance without charge each year if you'd like to. This will reduce the amount of interest you pay. If you make regular overpayments you may want to talk to us about your options. • Changing your mortgage term.
