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

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.
