Second charge on my property could affect me borrowing more on my mortgage.

Hi I have a second charge against my house for a business loan I have with Natwest for a property business (ltd company) run as a sideline with my sister. We both have other day jobs and set up the business a few years ago with a £150K loan which is now £112K and paid off in 6 years. The loan is £1500 per month but is completely covered by the income into the business so we do not have to pay anything out of our own money at all.

The problem is I want to borrow a further £30K on my own mortgage to build an extension. The advisor from Nationwide asked me if I had any other charges against my property and I told her about this second charge. she said she would have to refer my application to the underwriters as she wasn't sure they would offer me the loan because of the second charge and the amount of the £1500 payment per month. I told her that the sideline business was self funding etc.
My LTV on my own house is about 25% (outstanding mortgage £127k with £90K paid off in 4 years time, property value £500K in current market) so as far as risk goes I'm pretty safe but it's just this second charge that is worrying me and I'm wondering if Nationwide come back and refuse me would I have the same problem with other lenders? Does the fact that the business is a ltd company help us at all? I'm thinking that they may take into account the £1500 per month loan cost as part of my personal outgoings. My job salary is £42K.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
