Release Equity from Your Property Through a Specialist Mortgage Broker
If you own a property with available equity, a capital raising mortgage may allow you to release funds for a wide range of purposes without selling your home or investment property.
At SynergiseUK, we introduce individuals and businesses to carefully selected whole of market Specialist Mortgage Brokers who can assess your circumstances and help identify suitable mortgage options from a broad panel of lenders.
Whether you're looking to fund home improvements, purchase another property, support a business, consolidate existing borrowing, or finance another investment, specialist advice can help you understand the options available.
Every application is assessed individually and is subject to lender criteria, affordability and property suitability.
What is a Capital Raising Mortgage?
A capital raising mortgage allows you to borrow additional money against the equity built up within an existing property.
Rather than selling the property, you may be able to refinance or remortgage and release part of its value as a lump sum.
Capital can potentially be raised against:
- Residential properties
- Buy to let properties
- Holiday lets
- Commercial property
- Semi-commercial property
- Portfolio properties
The amount available depends on factors including:
- Current property value
- Existing mortgage balance
- Loan to value requirements
- Income and affordability
- Credit history
- The intended use of the funds
Why Do People Raise Capital?
There are many reasons why homeowners, landlords and business owners look to release equity.
Common uses include:
Property Investment
Many investors use capital raising to:
- Purchase another investment property
- Buy at auction
- Fund refurbishment projects
- Finance property conversions
- Expand an existing portfolio
Home Improvements
Capital may be used for:
- Extensions
- Loft conversions
- Major renovations
- Energy efficiency improvements
- Modernisation projects
Business Purposes
Business owners sometimes raise capital to:
- Improve cash flow
- Purchase equipment
- Invest in growth
- Recruit staff
- Fund expansion opportunities
Debt Consolidation
Some borrowers choose to consolidate existing borrowing into their mortgage where appropriate.
This may simplify monthly repayments, although extending unsecured borrowing over a mortgage term could increase the total amount repaid. Specialist advice should always be sought before proceeding.
Personal Projects
Released capital may also be used for purposes such as:
- Education costs
- Family support
- Divorce settlements
- Tax liabilities
- Investment opportunities
- Lifestyle purchases
The intended use of funds can influence which lenders may be suitable.
Types of Capital Raising Mortgages
Depending on your circumstances, a specialist broker may explore options including:
Residential Capital Raising
For homeowners wishing to release equity from their main residence.
Buy to Let Capital Raising
Suitable for landlords looking to raise funds from investment properties, often to expand their portfolio or improve existing properties.
Limited Company Mortgages
Where investment properties are owned within a limited company, specialist lenders may offer additional borrowing subject to their criteria.
Commercial Mortgages
Capital can sometimes be raised against commercial or mixed-use premises for business purposes.

Frequently asked Q&A's
It’s a mortgage that allows landlords to release equity from existing properties or access funds for new Buy-to-Let investments. The capital can be used to expand your property portfolio or refinance existing loans.
Eligibility usually requires:
- Ownership of one or more Buy-to-Let properties
- Sufficient rental income to cover mortgage repayments
- A good credit history
- Minimum age requirements set by lenders
Lenders typically allow equity release up to a certain Loan-to-Value (LTV) percentage, depending on the property type, rental income, and your financial profile. Specialist brokers can help identify your options.
Yes. The released capital can be reinvested into other Buy-to-Let properties, used for renovations, or help cover deposits on additional investments.
Rates vary by lender, property type, and LTV. Specialist Buy-to-Let brokers can search the whole market to find competitive rates tailored to your portfolio.
Yes. Some lenders offer capital raising solutions specifically for commercial or mixed-use Buy-to-Let properties. Brokers will guide you to the right options.
Generally not, for experienced landlords. However, for newer investors, some lenders may consider guarantees or co-borrowers to support the application.
Timescales vary depending on the lender and your property portfolio. With specialist broker support, applications can often progress more quickly than going direct.
A First Time Landlord Mortgage is designed for people starting out in property investment. It allows you to buy a Buy-to-Let property, even if it’s your first time as a landlord.
A mortgage is a long-term financial commitment and is not suitable for everyone.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
Interest rates may be fixed or variable. If you take a variable or tracker mortgage, your repayments could increase if interest rates rise. Changes to your personal circumstances — such as loss of income, illness, or increased living costs — could also affect your ability to meet repayments.
Mortgages often involve additional costs, including arrangement fees, legal fees, valuation fees, early repayment charges, and other lender or adviser fees. Extending the mortgage term may reduce monthly payments but can result in paying more interest overall and remaining in debt for longer.
You should carefully consider affordability now and in the future and seek professional advice before proceeding.
Important: Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
