  • Capital Raised for Extension: £45,000
  • Total New Mortgage: £225,000

The Outcome

Because their overall LTV remained low, Carl Shave from Just Mortgage Brokers moved them to a market-leading remortgage package that easily absorbed the extra capital at a highly competitive rate, proving much cheaper than taking out an unsecured personal loan.
