What Is a Further Advance?

A further advance is when you borrow additional money from your current mortgage lender, using the equity in your property. Instead of remortgaging to a new lender, a further advance allows you to keep your existing mortgage while taking out extra funds.

Homeowners often use a further advance for:

  • Home improvements or renovations
  • Debt consolidation
  • Funding education costs
  • Large purchases or investments
  • Expanding a property portfolio

How We Help with Further Advances

At Moneybox Financial Management Limited, we make the process simple and stress-free by:

  • Assessing Your Eligibility – Checking your current mortgage, income, and affordability.
  • Finding the Right Rate – Comparing further advance options from your lender.
  • Handling the Application – Completing all necessary paperwork and liaising with the lender.
  • Providing Expert Advice – Helping you decide if a further advance is the right option for you.

We ensure you fully understand the costs and terms before committing.


When Is a Further Advance Appropriate?

A further advance can be a good option when:

  • You need extra funds but want to keep your current mortgage deal.
  • Your lender offers a competitive interest rate.
  • You have sufficient equity in your home.
  • You need to borrow a smaller amount and don’t want to remortgage.
  • You want to avoid early repayment charges from switching lenders.

When Is a Further Advance Not Appropriate?

A further advance might not be the right choice if:

  • Your lender's interest rate is higher than other options.
  • A remortgage or secured loan offers better terms.
  • You have limited equity in your home.
  • You plan to sell your property soon, as the extra loan could affect flexibility.
  • Your affordability doesn’t meet the lender’s criteria.

Important information

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The actual amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances. The fee is up to 1%, but a typical fee is 0.3% of the amount borrowed.
