Additional borrowing
Borrowing an additional amount on your property may be right for you if you're looking to make improvements to your home or fund a special purchase.
Additional borrowing is not like a personal loan - it is secured on your property, like your mortgage. You can spread your payments over the term of your mortgage, but if you cannot keep up the additional payments you risk losing your home. You should always check the market to see if you can get a better deal before committing.
How it works
Step 1. Find out if you can borrow more
Before you apply for additional borrowing, you should consider the following:
- Minimum loan amount is £5,000
- You must have had your West Brom mortgage for more than three months
- You are not looking to pay off any unsecured debts (e.g. credit cards, personal loans) with the additional borrowing
- A £99 additional borrowing fee applies
All applications for additional borrowing are subject to the Society's lending criteria.
