Is this feasible??

I jointly own a house but we are separating.
The house is on the market for 350k, with mortgage of 170k.
My ex is willing to be bought out by me and wants 80k, I earn 45k a year, now by all my calculations the banks wouldn't go for it.
However someone I know who is a broker has said he thinks I could extend the term of my current mortgage and increase the mortgage to around 200k mark then borrow the rest on a second charge on the property.
Before I get all excited at the prospect, is there a slight possibility this could be true??

£250k mortgage on £45k income no chance with mainstream lenders.

Check the rate on the secured loan. Likely to be huge. Payments may be crippling and lead to losing the property.
