How does wanting to up a Mortage work?

Lets say currently I'm in the middle of a 5 year fixed for 5% for £100k, but if I was looking to move and wanted to borrow more, say an extra £50k, therefore total £150k, how does it work?

Obviously dependent on approval, but will the extra £50k be part of the current terms etc.?

    You port the existing deal for the existing amount, and ask for additional funds - which will be based on today's rates.

    Compared to 2.5 years ago, the rate may be better...

    The rates you might get offered on the extra lending all depends on your LTV, income ,size of deposit, debts, kids ETC
