Remortgaging to release equity from your home can be an effective way to raise funds for home improvements. If the value of your property has increased since you took out your original mortgage, you may have built up substantial equity. By remortgaging for a higher amount than your current mortgage balance, you can release this equity and receive a lump sum. This approach can be more cost-effective than other types of borrowing, such as personal loans or using credit cards, as mortgage rates are generally lower. However, it’s essential to ensure that the value added by the improvements will justify the increased debt.
