Hi, 
Hoping someone maybe able to advise! 
Curenrtly got our house on the market (3 days) and seen a property we both love.
To secure this house, I was wondering whether I can borrow additional money on my mortgage (£82,000) is allowed, and use that along with the mortgage in principle I have for the remainder.
Then once our current house sells, clear the entire mortgage, leaving just the one on the new house. 
The other half has just spoken to a mortgage broker, who said it would work out expensive having a second residential mortgage. She didn't know what to ask and I'm at work. 

Any advice at all?
