    We need to know what your income is and what is the balance of debts you have at the moment.
  • our combined annual income is £32,000.00 and other than the mortgage we have 1 loan which has around £3,000.00 left :O)

    getting an unsecured loan of 25k with such a low income is most unlikely
    try your mortgage company;

    Be awre that if you are able to add this to your mortgage, your LTV will suffer if or when you come to remortgaging.
