Remortgage Advice....

Hi All

This is my first post!!

We currently have a LTV 85% and are looking at having a loft conversion. Our fixed rate comes to an end in April - are there any mortgages out there that would allow us to borrow more for a loft conversion?!

Thank you in advance for you help :)

    You may well struggle to raise the funds you require.

    Loft conversions tend to cost more than the value they add as well.

    Most remortgage products top-out at 85% or 90%, so you might be able to borrow the same again, or perhaps a little more, but I doubt this would be enough to fund such an undertaking.
