    As long as your income can support the new mortgage balance then yes.

    If you are tied in on a current deal, the extra borrowing will be on whatever current rates are available.

    The application will be fully underwritten like a new mortgage application, so all supporting documents will need to be supplied as well.

    yes- our mortgage also covers 2 properties abroad. You have more than enough equity on your house.
