Yes, this is one of the most common ways to fund an investment property deposit. If your home has increased in value or you've paid down your mortgage, you may have usable equity. We can calculate how much you could access.

I was lucky enough to have Lynne Dent as my MA. She was incredible throughout the process. I thought getting a mortgage was impossible, Lynne made it happen. From the very start, she was confident, straight to the point, and completely transparent, which made me feel at ease. She took the time to answer all of my questions, no matter how silly they may have been. Lynne's kindness and patience truly made a stressful process much easier. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and supportive mortgage adviser! Lynne is a miracle worker.

I cannot recommend Roger highly enough. From the very beginning of the process, he took the weight completely off my shoulders. At a time when I was at my rock bottom, Roger not only delivered an exceptional deal, but he offered reassurance, clarity and a sense of calm that I desperately needed. It genuinely felt like I didn't do a thing as Roger handled every aspect of the process with real professionalism, efficiency and care. I am just so thankful and grateful for Roger. If you're looking for a broker that goes above and beyond, Roger is the one you want in your corner.
