Nationwide SVR - is this possible?

http://www.nationwide.co.uk/intermediaries/mortgages/remortgages/remortFlexbenBorrow.htm

I have £1 mortgage with Nationwide (which was taken out as a variable rate 'interest only' mortgage in 1987 - so there are 2.5 years of that original term left) Does 'borrow back' apply in these circumstances and (more importantly) is there a fee for it?

(2.5% 'borrowing' looks a possible arbitrage opportunity)

[Duplicate post from Savings and Investments board]

Update: I called them and asked what I would be allowed to borrow (as I had no idea really) - £285!! Well, needless to say, I did not press on for any further details...
