RE-Mortage Question

Looking for some advice for some relatives.
They are old, both 70+. They own one property worth £500,000 no mortage, currently being rented. Another property which is around £800,000, mortage of £270,000 left.

They want to take out a loan of £50,000 against one of the properties. One of their files is not great, a CCJ and a default. The others is perfect but little history on there. They need for some legal costs in which they are in a battle. They cant borrow it of family or friends.

Is this possibble? How easy would it be to get a loan bearing in mind they around 1 million pounds worth of equity. They are both pensioners too
