Can you borrow more on a fixed rate mortgage?

Can you borrow more on a fixed rate mortgage?

I want to refinance my partners loan on a better rate, can I add it on my mortgage and what will happen to the fixed rate on there? (the base rate has gone up since I fixed for 5 years)

My partners loan is a long term loan on 7% which needs looking at. Any advice welcome! :)

    Any additional borrowing will be treated as new seperate application.

    Does that mean a separate mortgage application or is an application something you can have more than one of in a mortgage?

    Making unsecured debt secured is not a great idea.

    7% isn’t that bad a rate. How much is outstanding on the loan? How long has it got left?

    I don't have the exact figures in front of me but it was about 15,000 over 80 months.

    A mortgage is the legal charge placed on a property to secure the debt owed.

    You can have multiple loan accounts from the same lender secured under the one mortgage charge.

    A mortgage has become the term for a loan secured by property as surety.
