Features and benefits of a top-up mortgage
- A Haven Top-Up mortgage has a minimum loan amount of €10,000. The upper limit is determined by the value of your house, how much you can easily pay off each month, and what you intend to do with the money.
- Choose a term of up to 35 years (or maximum 68 years of age).
- It is an additional mortgage loan to the one you have so it can have a different interest rate and be paid back over a different time period.
- Choose from competitive fixed, variable or green mortgage interest rates. Your Mortgage Broker will be happy to guide you through the best option for you.
Points to consider
- Fill in a Top-Up Application Form and give it to your mortgage Broker with documents like your payslips, proof of ID and expenses just as you did for your first mortgage. Although you already have a mortgage with us, we still need to ensure that you can meet the additional repayments.

If you are planning for home improvements, you should let your Home Insurance provider know. If you need to move out of your home while the home improvement work is carried out, additional insurance may be required to make sure your home is fully protected.
- You must have your house evaluated by a Haven Residential Mortgage Valuer as the Top-Up mortgage loan is secured by the equity of your home. You will be charged €150 for the initial valuation and €65 for any additional valuations that are required. This can be arranged for you by your Mortgage Broker, who can also confirm when it is required in the application process.
- You may have to pay fees to the mortgage broker for their services.
- Documents like the family home declaration and the letter of offer must be witnessed by a solicitor.
