"Equity Release" lenders
#1
Ro,
Maybe think about moving your mortgage/current account/savings account to Virgin OneAccount (run by the Royal Bank of Scotland)
Depending on how you set your account up (limits etc.) you can borrow/repay as required within the limits at mortgage rates. It does need a lot of discipline as you could suddenly find you've spent all your equity on a MY01 STi.

If there is any chance of you repaying early take special note of the terms relating to this! Was a horror story in Which magazine about a fellow getting stung with a pretty big interest penalty after repaying a First Plus (Carol Vordoman does the commercials) loan. The fact there was a penalty was incredibly well hidden in the small print.

The single account type thing is the way to go if you've variable income as well, good idea but as the man said you need discipline. I don't have one for that reason.

Previously had Virgin One - switched to Egg and saved 1.2% APR on interest - almost as flexible but not a current account.
Min £200 withdrawal - if >£5k goes into your current account within one working day. No other limits on overpayments/withdrawals, and you can stick extra money in there knowing you can get it back again when you see a car you want Agree discipline is required.
