Funding an Extension to Property

Hi
Hope this is the right place for the question....
I am looking to fund an extension to my house and wondering what the most cost efficient way of doing it? It will cost between £60k - £100k depending on what I end up doing.
I have no mortgage left anymore to pay. So can I get another mortgage? Or remortgage? Or is better just to get a personal loan?
Thanks

Secured lending will be the way to go. Speak to your bank or broker.0

Remortgage for home improvements is fairly common. If property is mortgage free this should be a fairly 'cheap' thing to set up.
As long as ltv is decent the rates will be much lower than an unsecured personal loan (albeit with the trade of securing the loan against the property)0 -

Sorry for the stupid question - so I guess that means I can / should be able to get another mortgage to fund the extension?0 -
