Using current house as collateral for first time buyer?

Hi,
I am looking for some advice on my situation.
I have a 50% share in a house with my brother which was gifted to us by our parents.We own it outright and there has never been a mortgage on the property. My brother lives there with friends who rent.
I am interested in getting on the property market myself by buying a property but don't have a lot of money for a deposit and I have heard about possibilities of using my share of the house as collateral towards a deposit. Can anyone explain a bit more about how possible this is and how it would be done?
Could this apply to Buy to Let mortgages as well?
Thanks

Using the property as collateral is not possible.
You may be able to raise a loan for a deposit against your current property.I am a Mortgage Broker

Thanks, perhaps my terminology wasn't right. If anyone has some advice on how this could be done that would be appreciated.
