How much you will be able to borrow as a mortgage is likely to be influenced by a number of factors, including how much you earn.
Another important consideration is your loan to value (LTV) ratio. This shows how the amount you want to borrow relates to the market value of your property.
So, if you want to borrow £90,000 as a mortgage on a £100,000 house, so putting down a 10% deposit, your LTV would be 90%.
If you then wanted to take out a second charge mortgage for a further £25,000, this would make your LTV 75%.
The higher your LTV, the higher interest rates most lenders will tend to offer.
The mortgages market is diverse, with many different providers and types of mortgages to choose from.

Whether it will be a good idea for you to remortgage depends on a number of factors, including your goals and your personal circumstances.
However, in general, if interest rates are lower than you are currently paying on your mortgage, it may be a good time to remortgage.
If interest rate are higher than you are currently paying, it may be better to look at other options, such as a second mortgage or a personal loan (if you aim is to borrow more).
If you are not sure whether now is the right time to remortgage, it is a good idea to speak to an independent mortgage broker who will be able to offer impartial advice on Harpenden BS mortgages as well as other lenders.
