    It is not a requirement that the further advance is used for home improvements, as the NW were well aware we were using the advance to fund a BTL purchase.

    Was this not a secured loan?

    Yes, it is a secured loan. NW say on their website that with a further advance you can, "Borrow a lump sum of up to 95% of the value of your home for home improvements or up to 85% for other* purposes." It might not be the right choice for the OP but it may be worth looking into.
