Home Equity Loan

At Somerset Hills Bank, we can help you take advantage of the equity in your home by giving you ready access to a variety of flexible loan options at competitive rates to meet virtually any borrowing need.  A home equity loan is the best choice if you want to borrow a lump sum and pay it back over a specific period of time at a fixed interest rate. This type of loan is ideal for long term financing needs, such as home improvements, college tuition, debt consolidation and vehicle purchases.

A fixed rate home equity loan from Somerset Hills Bank offers the following benefits:

  • Trusted personal service with prompt, local decision making
  • Loan term options of 5, 10, 15 and 20 years.
  • Borrow from $25,000 to $300,000 of the equity in your home.
 
  • Interest may be tax deductible - consult with your tax advisor.
  • No application fees, closing costs or prepayment fees.
  • Available for single family primary residences located in New Jersey
