  • A house finance question to the forum.

    Currently 6 months into a 2 year plan with hsbc. We need approx £100k to pay parents back, a repayment of a car loan and install solar on yhdd we house.

    Current lender Hsbc, have advised a second mortgage application. Will this mean finding a minimum 10% deposit to access the additional borrowing?

    Are there any other ways to raise this type of borrowing? Please don’t suggest selling the bikes.

  • Depends on what % your current mortgage is, I'd have thought, ie is there enough equity in house to balance against the 2nd mortgage?

    If the bank have suggested a second mortgage, I presume there is.

  • Will this mean finding a minimum 10% deposit to access the additional borrowing?

    Nope

    Are there any other ways to raise this type of borrowing?

    Probably, but a mortgage will be cheapest I'd expect

  • Will this mean finding a minimum 10% deposit to access the additional borrowing?

    Probably not, depends on your current LTV. Likelihood is that you'll just be borrowing against the existing equity. e.g. you have a £300k property with £150k mortgage and that will go up to £300k property with £250k mortgage.

    Second mortgage will probably be a worse rate than the first but is likely to be lower than the other options.
