    Borrowing an additional £20k will take you up to a very high LTV. So this may impact your ability to borrow at a relatively cheap interest rate.

    £20k is a sizable sum for home improvements so your lender may well ask questions as to the purpose of the advance requested.

    Do you have any unsecured debts such as credit cards or loans?

    Would recommend speaking to a mortgage adviser, who can explain what options are available and give you an honest assessment of what is needed.
