I have a car loan with halifax for £6,236.00 (2.5yrs) remaining, would like to increase this loan to 7K for home improvements. I have a penalty to pay halifax, not sure what the amount is but does any1 think its wise to move banks & pay the penalty or stick with halifax?

Hi Missy
If you require a home improvement for your house which may increase it's value as a result ,why do you not approach the Halifax for an "Additional Advance" what you are suggesting appears to be a re-mortgage which will probably expose you to some additional costs
Your redemption penalty will remain, but because you are borrowing more from them, and not going elswhere it will not have any bearing on yoUr redemption penalty it could work out cheaper thangetting a secured loan
Might be best to see an independent mortgage broker for advise
Hope that makes some senseI am a Mortgage Adviser
