Additonal borrowing LTV question

Hi all.

I currently have a mortgage on our house where the LTV is 60% and we are looking to borrow some additional money in order to build an extension. We are not 100% sure how much we will want to borrow yet but the ballpark figure will put us around the 75% LTV mark.

I am aware that we would ideally stay below the 75% mark in order to get better rates but one thing that I was wondering was if we went above that rate would that affect our existing borrowing?

At the moment the deal we have was based on a lower LTV so I just wondered whether or not our provider would have an issue about the LTV now being a higher level?

    What's your existing mortgage product? As this will determine when and if there's any impact.

    The lender will factor in the additional borrowing when making you an offer for the funds.
