Remortgage for home improvement

This family were quickly outgrowing their existing home, but they loved it and didn’t want to move. They contacted our mortgage advice team to explore the possibility of re mortgaging to give them extra capital so they could extend their home to meet their current and future needs.

They wondered whether this was the right time to start this project as they were worried about the continued volatility in interest rates and the effect on mortgage rates.

The mortgage team worked with the clients to agree a budget, explain the steps required and to recommend the clients get a few building quotes so the cost of the project could be better estimated and evidenced.

Once the clients started receiving the quotes, due to the availability of the preferred builder, the work needed to start quickly and so there was a very short timeline in which to find the most suitable mortgage and lender.

The mortgage team were able to secure the required mortgage, within the agreed budget and in time for the extension project to start with their preferred builder.

Thank you very much, you've been great all along the process. Hard part is done thanks to you.
