Getting a loan on my mortgage

Options
we bought our house for £115,000 in 2007 and since then it has decreased in value to £100,000 and we have paid £10,000 off it. Can I loan the £10,000 back off the mortgage even though our home value has decreased?

    You want ALL of your Mortgage payments given back to you on a house which is worth less than it was when purchased?

    Is this yet another weird newbie. What a completely preposterous idea. At what stage do you actually intend to start paying back your mortgage. By the way it's borrow £10,000, not loan £10,000.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    To be fair no one has asked what deposit you put down. If you put a large deposit then you could in theory remortgage, however you wouldn't be able to raise above 90%of the house value and probably less. Therefore if your outstanding mortgage is less than ninety grand, but probably ideally closer to eighty grand then you could probably raise more cash,
