Mortgage or Re-mortgage

I have a property that I own outright worth £200K and I am looking to extend the property which we believe will cost around £50K.


What is the best option to fund this? A first time buyers mortgage, a re-mortgage or a loan?

We have looked in to loans and we still think a form of mortgage is the best option.

If anyone has been in the same position please let me know what method you used.

Thanks :)

    It's classed as a remortgage on an unencumbered property.

    For £50K a mortgage will more than likely be the best option.
    Consider offset mortgage as you can take out mortgage and put the money into the offset account( saving you interest) and then pay for building work as the work is done.
