Moving to a more expensive home with additional borrowing

Hi All,

I'd value any advice you may have to offer on the following...

I am one year in to a fixed rate ten year mortgage with Barclays. I'm looking to move to a bigger house and would need to borrow extra money to do this.
The overall LTV would still be less than 80%. My salary multiples and affordability calculations indicate they would not be a problem.

1. Are there any options other than talking to Barclays about a top-up loan or additional mortgage product?

2. Do you think Barclays would not be inclined to give me a good rate on any further borrowing as I'm already tied to them with my existing ten year mortgage?


Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Regards,

LXGB

    Barclays will be the easiest and cheapest option for you for raising the additional funds, seeing as you are tied into their 10 year product
