Further advances
A further advance is a great way for your client to borrow more against their current property. They can also product transfer at the same time and if there are fees associated they will only pay once. Clients borrowing more should select products from our existing clients range.
Please note: Porting, further advances and Transfer of Equity cases cannot be submitted online

Product exceptions
Exceptions
If your client is an Interest-only borrower our interactive guide will help you select the right product.
If your client is an existing Offset or Flexx for Term borrower they may be able to borrow more on their existing product, subject to our affordability requirements (for residential borrowing), lending criteria and the product LTV.
Note:
- Clients with an Offset facility who are looking to borrow more can do so on the same term and product, subject to LTV limits. If they would like an alternative arrangement they will need to complete a Product Transfer.
- If your client is an existing Godiva Standard Residential customer, and wishes to borrow more, you'll find details of the further advance products available to them in the product pages.
If your client has four or more mortgaged buy-to-let properties and is therefore a portfolio landlord, any further borrowing will need to be on a product from the portfolio landlord product page with the following exceptions:
- Portfolio landlord clients on an existing Flexx for Term product that was applied for before 16th May 2019 can take further borrowing on their existing product or select a product from the portfolio landlord product pages.
- Clients on an existing Flexx for Term product that was applied for on or after 16th May 2019 can take further borrowing on their existing product. But if they have since become a portfolio landlord they can only take further borrowing on a product from the portfolio landlord product pages.
