2. Improvements to your Investment Property
​
If you are looking to carry out property improvements, then you could capital raise. You have two options to raise finance.
​
-
Borrow more money by way of a further advance:: It is sensible to first approach your current lender for a further advance if there is enough equity in the property. This saves cost and legal expenses. If you are on a fixed term, the current lender can still advance you money but it will be considered a separate loan to the fixed one. ​
-
Remortgage with another lender: Should the efforts to re-mortgage with the current lender fail, it is best to wait until the fixed term is over and if capital raise is your priority, it is better to opt for a second charge short-term loan. to meet your objectives. If long-term capital raise is required, there is no other option but to refinance and pay the early repayment fees but seek a very keen interest rate from the alternative lender.
​
3. Debt Consolidation
​
If you have short-term loans or credit card debt across a number of providers, you could raise money by remortgaging, which would allow you to pay off these debts leaving you with one single lower monthly payment.
​
4. Change in circumstances
​
Life can bring many surprises which may be non-intentional, such as loss of a job or a bad investment. This can lead to a decline in your credit rating. In this case, there are lenders who accommodate adverse information, albeit being at a higher interest rate. In this case, the refinance and implications needs to be discussed with the greatest of transparency.
​
5. Releasing equity for further investments
If you are planning to start a business or maybe want to buy a second property, remortgaging to release equity is one way of raising finance. Equity is the difference between the current value of the property and the outstanding mortgage. However, increasing your mortgage balance is likely to increase how much you pay each month and decrease the equity in your property.
