Additional Borrowing

Hi
We are currently having an extension built and at roof level - just about water tight
We have the money to finish it but would like to borrow an additional £15 k on the mortgage to get the kitchen I really want and the flooring etc
I have spoken to our mortgage provider and they have said we need more LTV
They can send a surveyor to re value to the propert - would the surveyor take into account the works we have done even if they aren’t completely finished ?
Thanks

They would value it as is, not how it might be when the ongoing work is completed.
As it’s only 15k, you might want to explore the possibility of a personal loan?Hi

A half built extension could reduce the value in its current state.0
