The value of your home is based upon an independent valuation that is arranged for you and not the amount that you might sell it for. For example an Estate Agents valuation might be higher or possibly even lower but could be a useful guide before you apply. See the example below. The rules are very complicated but we can work out a plan for you.
See how much the repayments will be from the table below and consider the benefits to you of taking ALL or just some of the equity out of your home. Find out that taking a lower amount of equity is even cheaper than taking out more money. This is because using up all your equity is risky so the lenders expect you to pay more.
You can work out the total cost of each loan simply by multiplying the monthly repayments and the term.
95% Equity - £ 30,000 costs £ 373.44 x 120 = £ 44,812.80
100% Equity - £ 40,000 costs £ 418.08 x 180 = £ 75,254.4
