With any of our mortgages, you can apply to borrow more money once you’ve made a minimum of six monthly payments.

The minimum amount you can borrow is £5,000 and you may also need to pay other fees. Borrowing more money will increase the amount you owe, the interest you’ll pay and your monthly mortgage payments.

Here’s how it works:

• Arrange an appointment with one of our qualified mortgage advisers by calling 0345 111 8020*. Take a look at our list of what you'll need (PDF, 172KB) so you have everything to hand.
• Our mortgage advisors will go through everything with you and check you can afford the bigger monthly payments for the extra money you want to borrow.
• They'll also check the extra money won't take your total mortgage over our maximum loan-to-value ratio.
• They'll be able to recommend the right product for your circumstances.

Find out more about borrowing more money on your mortgage on our manage your mortgage page.

Our decision on how much we can lend you is based upon a full affordability assessment where we’ll look to understand your income, any loan or credit card commitments and regular household expenditure.

We will also perform a credit check to make sure your credit rating is suitable for mortgage purposes. To give you an idea of how much you may be able to borrow, have a look at the tables below on any restrictions that may be in place depending on your circumstances.

Yes, you can. Product fees can be added to the total mortgage amount or they can be paid upfront.

If you add your product fees to the mortgage it will increase the total amount you’re borrowing and you’ll pay interest on this additional amount at the same rate as the rest of your borrowing.

Before committing to a mortgage, it’s always best to seek advice. When we give you advice we take everything into account, from what you can afford to how much you earn and spend. This means we can give you mortgage advice that will suit your circumstances and that you can afford.

Our qualified mortgage advisers can help you understand the different types of Sainsbury’s Bank mortgages available, explain how they work and talk through which options might be best for you. They can also suggest the most suitable mortgage term for you.

Taking out a mortgage without advice can be considered risky. Without proper advice you may choose a mortgage that is not best suited to your needs. If you apply online Sainsbury’s Bank is not required to assess the suitability of the mortgage you apply for and you will not receive the same protection offered by the Financial Conduct Authority’s rules as customers who apply by telephone.

Yes. You have 7 days from the date you receive your Offer to reflect on its terms and let us know if you don't want to proceed.

Sainsbury's Bank will be bound to the terms of the Offer for the duration of the 7 day reflection period. You should remember that if you choose not to proceed, not all of the fees you may have already paid will be refundable.

Your Offer will be valid for 180 days from the date it's issued and in some situations, you can ask us to consider extending that for even longer.

Once you have signed the Mortgage Deed and the loan funds have been drawn down you will have accepted the offer and you cannot withdraw from it. You can, however, repay the loan at any time in accordance with your terms and conditions.

If you would like an explanation of any of the terms of the Offer, please contact your mortgage Conveyancer in the first instance.

There are several reasons why your mortgage application may not have been successful. For example, it could be because:

• You may not have a credit score that matches our lending criteria. We use the credit reference agency TransUnion for our checks. You can ask them to check your credit history for you. Please note there may be a charge for this.
• Your income and expenditure doesn’t meet our affordability criteria. If we deem you cannot afford the repayments on your mortgage we will not agree to lend you the money to ensure we are lending responsibly.
• You or the property don't meet all of our criteria for getting a mortgage.

At Sainsbury’s Bank, we aim to provide the best possible service to our customers, but occasionally we get things wrong or don't meet your expectations. When this happens, we'll try to resolve the issue quickly and to your satisfaction.
