Maybe.
Depends what you really mean.
Are you selling the flat?
Or planning to get a mortgage/remortgage to a larger amount, and keep the flat..?
First is easiest. The cash upon sale can go to form/increase your deposit, and improves your LTV for the house mortgage.
A mortgage/remortgage on the flat, depends on complications like buy-to-let LTVs, how much equity it would free, BTL fees, etc...
Still doable, just not as cut and dried.Act in haste, repent at leisure.
