  • This is, I think, a silly question, but if you don't ask...

    Looking to carry out some major building works on our home (say £50k in total). We 'own' about 50% of the equity in the house. To pay for the works, we'd like to borrow against the house, probably pushing up our total borrowing to about 60/65% of the value of the house.

    So, silly questions:

    • I presume we're technically looking to remortgage? Is this all we need to be saying when we approach our lender? "We're looking to remortgage to pay for some building works"?!

    • if approved, is it likely that the lender sends a wodge of cash to your nominated bank account, or are staggered payments more common?

    Yep
