Home extension loan

Hi. I have about 160k in savings and need about 100k to give me some breathing space on extension I’m planning to do. 

My house has no mortgage and I have some properties under business account too. Again no mortgages or loans on them. 
What’s the best loan to get, ideally want something that I can payback quicker without extra charges. I reckon I can pay it off in 3 years (£3k monthly) but some months I’ll be able to pay extra.

  • Not clear here - do you have £160k in savings and you want to borrow £100k on top - or do you not want to use the savings?

    If you have the funds (and more!) why pay to borrow - you can 'repay' the £k back into your savings?
