Borrow more on your mortgage

If you'd like to borrow more on your existing mortgage from The Mortgage Works, you could increase your borrowing up to 75% of the value of your property. This is also known as a Further Advance.

Find a Further Advance mortgage using our mortgage rate finder.

Derbyshire Home Loans Ltd (DHLL) and E-Mex Home Funding Ltd (E-Mex) don’t offer further advances to their customers.

If you want to switch your mortgage deal and also borrow more, it’s worth considering which you do first:

  • When you borrow more your LTV increases. So if you borrow more first, this may affect your choice of switcher rates.
  • If you switch your mortgage rate first, we can’t guarantee that we’ll accept your application to borrow more afterwards.

Eligibility

To borrow more, you need to make sure you:
  • Are a buy to let customer with The Mortgage Works
  • Have owned and let the property for at least 6 months
  • Have been making full monthly payments on your mortgage for at least 6 months
  • Have not been in arrears during the last 12 months
  • Want to borrow at least £2,500

We won't accept applications to borrow more if:

  • You are in the process of switching your mortgage deal
  • You want the money for business purposes
  • There's more than 2 people on the mortgage
  • The property will be rented out to an immediate family member

What you can use the money for

You can use the money for:

  • Home improvements (to the property address or another property)
  • Purchase of new property
  • Purchase of land
  • Transfer of equity
  • Debt consolidation (only available if you apply through a broker) 
  • Making energy efficiency improvements - if you want to borrow more money to improve your property's energy efficiency, it's worth checking out our Green Further Advance mortgage. It gives you a lower initial interest rate than our standard Further Advance mortgages.

If you are 70 or older, and your additional borrowing takes your Loan to Value (LTV) over 65%, we’ll only consider applications for essential or structural repairs to the property.
