Remortgaging with ESBS
As interest rates change over time and new products come onto the market, it can be a good idea to move your mortgage to a different provider to get a better deal.
This can also allow you to borrow more, so you can pay off your existing mortgage and have some cash left over. Switching mortgage providers can be relatively simple, with many lenders offering to help you with some or all of the fees involved.
Remortgaging via ESBS can be used to raise capital for home improvements.
Loan to value ratio
How much you will be able to borrow as a mortgage is likely to be influenced by a number of factors, including how much you earn.
Another important consideration is your loan to value (LTV) ratio. This shows how the amount you want to borrow relates to the market value of your property.
So, if you want to borrow £50,000 as a mortgage on a £100,000 house, your LTV would be 50%.
If you then wanted to take out a second charge mortgage for a further £25,000, this would make your LTV 75%.
The higher your LTV, the higher interest rates most lenders will tend to offer.
