Small loan v larger mortgage

I am buying my leasehold flat from the Council. Once my Right to Buy discount is taken into account I will have £42k to pay. I have accrued cash ISAs to be value of £20k and cash savings of £16k. What makes most sense: a) to cash these in and take out a loan for £6k or b) to pay a smaller deposit and take out a larger mortgage.
While it seems sensible to pay the maximum I can, I will lose my accrued interest free savings. Any advice?
