Additional borrowing on a Royal Bank of Scotland mortgage

Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

For mortgages in more than one name, everyone named on the mortgage is responsible for repaying any extra borrowing - even if only one person uses the money, for example for holidays, a car, or paying off debts.

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.

You're eligible to apply if:

  • You have a mortgage with Royal Bank of Scotland.
  • You're a resident in the UK.
  • You're looking to borrow between £10,000 and £500,000 (there may be other more suitable borrowing options. Visit our borrowing needs tool to find out more)
  • You're up to date with your current mortgage payments.
  • You're looking to borrow for a minimum term of 3 years.
  • You've made at least one payment on your existing mortgage.​​
