What is additional borrowing?

Additional borrowing allows you to apply for more money on your mortgage for an agreed purpose. Let's take a look at some of the key details.

Mortgage with Royal Bank?

If you are an existing customer, you can apply for 'additional borrowing' on your mortgage.

Whether tied into a current mortgage deal or not, we have options which could help you.

Mortgage elsewhere?

Move your existing mortgage to us and apply for additional borrowing at the same time.

See our rates, calculate repayments and even submit an application. Just visit our Remortgage to Royal Bank page to find out more.

How much can I borrow?

The mortgage rates we offer will depend on your Loan to Value (LTV) and we'll need to take you through an affordability assessment and credit score. So before you call, here's a few helpful tips to prepare.
