Hi all,

i borrowed further money on my mortgage to fund a very small kitchen extension

Got approved for an extra 20K borrowing in March but I live in an old property, and Even with my contingency I have over spent majorly. Can you borrow twice with no limit? 

My home was 210K 
I put a 100K deposit down then recently borrowed 20k additional. 
My mortgage is around 125K in total now

Valuation is around 230K without extension 

what’s the best option for borrowing around another 5-8K? Can I apply again

    @va2020 Some lenders have a minimum time period between two further-advance/additional-borrowing applications, will depend on your specific lender's policy. Your lender may also have a minimum amount for any additional borrowing.
