Mortgage 50% stake in tenants in common property

Hi all, first time poster apologies if in the wrong place.
I own 50% of a property as tenant in common. Is it possible for me to get a sole mortgage on my share to pay for renovation work/consolidate debts?

No. Lenders can't repossess half a house.I am a mortgage broker. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
