The wider assessment
Equity is only one part of the decision
A lender also looks at affordability and whether it accepts the proposed use of funds. Home improvements, a further property purchase and business uses can be treated differently. A further advance or second charge may deserve comparison with replacing the whole mortgage.
Releasing equity increases secured debt. Costs such as early repayment charges and a longer term can outweigh a lower rate.
