Existing mortgage customers
Borrowing more
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage
NatWest no longer offer residential interest only mortgages. Customers with existing interest only mortgages are not affected by this change. Buy to Let mortgages remain available on an interest only basis. Please note that our website content is in the process of being updated to reflect these changes.
Existing mortgage customers
Need to borrow more?
You could borrow up to 90% loan to value of your property for almost any purpose. As the borrowing is secured against your home, it could be cheaper than taking a personal loan or putting it on your credit card.
Applications for additional borrowing are subject to the loan to value and must meet our current lending requirements.
Borrowing more
Your additional borrowing options
Additional borrowing range on an existing mortgage
If you are considering borrowing more on your mortgage, and already have a mortgage with us, we may be able to loan you up to 90% of your property’s value.
We have an additional borrowing range that you can choose a new deal from.
Switching to a new deal and taking additional borrowing
If you are switching to a new deal and would like to borrow more at the same time, you can benefit from taking all borrowing at the same rate and you will only pay one product fee.
You can search online but if you would like to discuss your options, please call a mortgage advisor on 0800 400 999 or pop into your local branch.
Key points to remember
- The minimum additional borrowing is £1,000.
- Additional borrowing is only available on a "Capital & Interest" basis.
We will lend to you based on the valuation we hold for your property. If you feel this valuation has changed, you can speak to our advisers to discuss your options. You can find your outstanding mortgage balance on your latest annual statement, use this and the valuation we hold for you to calculate your LTV.

Frequently asked questions
I want pay a lump sum into my mortgage before switching
You may want to pay a lump sum in to your mortgage before you switch to a new deal. This could reduce your Loan to Value (LTV) and make you eligible for products in a lower LTV band, meaning you could be able to secure a lower interest rate.
You can also overpay up to 10% of your mortgage balance each year to your mortgage. This will reduce the amount of interest you pay.
If you are in a position that you would like to overpay on a regular basis you may want to discuss our Offset Flexible Mortgage with a mortgage adviser.
Frequently asked questions
I have a multiple part mortgage - how will this affect switching?
If you have a mortgage made up of capital and interest or interest only, or you have taken additional borrowing since you first took your mortgage with us, then you will have a multiple part mortgage.
With a multiple part mortgage not all parts may be on the same deal. They may be on different terms, different repayment methods and / or different product types, depending on how you have set your mortgage up.
If you are eligible to switch deals on one or more parts of your mortgage and not on other parts, you may find it useful to discuss your options with a mortgage adviser. It is important you are aware of all your options so that you can make an informed decision. You can speak to one of our advisers by calling 0800 400 999 or visiting your local branch to speak to a Personal Mortgage advisers.
Whichever option is best for you there is only one product fee payable, whichever is the highest.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to speak to a mortgage adviser before switching?
You will need to if you are borrowing more, changing your term or repayment method or paying a lump sum in to your mortgage.
Changing your mortgage
There are many ways in which your circumstances can change throughout the term of your mortgage and we are here to make sure that we can help you manage this. Below are some examples of how you may wish to change your mortgage.
Overpayment - You may want to pay a lump sum in to your mortgage before you switch to a new deal. This could reduce your Loan to Value (LTV) and make you eligible for products in a lower LTV band, meaning you could be able to secure a lower interest rate.
You can also overpay up to 10% of your mortgage balance each year to your mortgage. This will reduce the amount of interest you pay.
If you are in a position that you would like to overpay on a regular basis you may want to discuss our Offset Flexible Mortgage with a mortgage adviser.
Additional Borrowing - As part of a product switch you can take Additional Borrowing at the same interest rate as the new deal. You will only pay one fee for securing the new deal on both parts of your mortgage. Additional Borrowing cannot be requested online and if you would like to discuss your options please call a mortgage adviser on 0800 400 999 or pop in to your local branch.
Moving home - You may be thinking about moving home and switching to a new mortgage deal. Our products are portable, and no Early Repayment Charge (ERC) is applicable, if you have the same borrowing amount or more. To port your mortgage you will need to have a valuation for the new property, remain on the same Loan to Value, meet our credit criteria and port within three months of this.
If you do need to change your mortgage details before you switch to a new deal this is an important decision, and you may need to speak with one of our mortgage advisers. You can do this by calling 0800 400 999.
Would you need to pay an early repayment charge to break your deal?
If you are in a deal, not rolling off in the next three months, and wish to break the deal as your circumstances have changed, you need to speak to one of our mortgage advisers. In these circumstances you are not eligible to use the online switching application.
Is only a part of your mortgage eligible for switching?
If you have a multiple part mortgage, not all parts may be on the same deal. They may be on different terms, different repayment methods and / or different product types, depending on how you have set your mortgage up.
If you are eligible to switch deals on one or more parts of your mortgage and not on other parts, you may find it useful to discuss your options with a mortgage adviser. It is important you are aware of all your options so that you can make an informed decision.

Easy switching
The benefits of switching online explained
No valuation is required
When you are switching your existing mortgage to a new deal we do not require a new valuation. We will use the last valuation we have for your home. If you think your house value has changed you may want to instruct a new valuation.
If you do want to discuss your valuation you can do so by speaking with a mortgage adviser on 0800 400 999.
No credit score or legal fees
As you are an existing customer you do not have to go through an application process or credit reference searches. There are also no legal fees. If you re-mortgage to another lender you may need to go through this process.
Choose your method of paperwork delivery
Details of your new mortgage deal will be sent to you once you have completed the online switching application. You can choose to have these documents sent to you by email or through the post.
If you choose to receive this information by email you will receive your documents in PDF format. You can then print off or save for your own records. If you are happy with your new rate, then call us to accept your deal over the phone or return the paperwork in the post.
Timescales
You must accept your deal within 14 days and this date will be advised to you in the documentation you receive. This will ensure you secure the deal you have requested. Our products can change from time to time and if the acceptance of your deal is after this time period we may not be able to honour the product you originally requested.
Product fee
A product fee is part of the price of the product. This will only be taken once you have confirmed acceptance of the new deal, either by accepting the deal by phone or by returning your paperwork by post. At this point the fee becomes non refundable.
