Bath Home Equity Loans & Lines of Credit (HELOC)

If you already own a home in the Bath area, you can easily tap into the accumulated market value of your primary residence to fund major life goals. Your home equity is a powerful resource that can be used to add long-term value to your property, manage large expenses, or consolidate higher-interest debt at a lower rate.

We offer two convenient ways to access your home's built-in equity, both featuring no application fees and no prepayment penalties:

• Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): Qualified homeowners can establish a revolving line of credit up to 80% of the appraised value of their home, minus any existing liens. This option gives you the freedom to draw funds as needed, pay them down, and borrow again.

• Fixed-Term Second Mortgages: For those who prefer immediate predictability, we offer fixed-rate, fixed-term second Mortgages up to 80% of the appraised value of your home, providing a stable lump-sum distribution with a consistent monthly payment.
