A friend has said I should re-mortgage on the LTV I have 70% 5 Yr Fix then take out the additional borrowing for home improvements.
The 70% will be a lower rate and the additional borrowing will be a higher rate RATHER than doing it all at 80% LTV and the higher rate....is this correct and doable?

As long as you are happy to wait six months between the remortgage and the further advance, it may be right, yes.
