Advice Needed Please Re Additional Borrowing

Hi Everyone,

I need some help regarding additional borrowing please.

My mortgage is 61k (Nationwide) property value in current market £165k. We took out 5 year fixed rate of 6.18% last August.

I need to make some very much needed home improvements which equate to 30k.

Do they add this to my current mortgage or is it something separate altogether? and will I have to pay 6.18% on it too as I was hoping to get a better deal.
I have read Nationwie website but cant make head nor tail of it.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

;)

    Assuming your income can support the new total amount requested Nationwide will offer you a current mortgage deal on the new extra £30k requested

    As feisty says, give them a call and they will walk you through the process.
