Hi There

I need to borrow 8k for a divorce settlement and want to know the best way to borrow this money, would it be have a mortgage or a loan?

Currently have a 62k mortgage on an older good rate (0.58% above base rate) and dont want to remortgage the new amount of 70k as I will have to move onto a newer higher rate.

I would be looking to pay back between 5 to 12 years I think.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Many Thanks
