  • Nationwide often do flexi loans which they will give you at the rate of your morgage, I guess there will be other company's out there which do the same depending on the amount you wish to borrow.
  • There are thousands of lenders that will lend you money on your ex council house now you have had it for over three years. nearly all lenders will lend you money for home improvements. All lenders are prepared to lend different amounts, from 3 x your salary to 4/5 times salary, less outstanding credit commitments. All lenders have different approaches to how these are calculated too. I would recommend you seek professional advice from an independent mortgage advisor offering a whole of market option (this means they can choose from any mortgage currently available in UK). Make sure you use an advisor who won't charge you a fee and you is on your level so you can communicate comfortably.

    Good luck with your remortgage!
