Drawing Down Funds Off The Property

If you have a mortgage and your credit isnt that great, can you still draw down funds off of the property? For example, if I wanted to take out 5k (against the property), would that be feasible? Or would they look at the credit history and decline it, even though the mortgage has been in action for over 25 years?

Many thanks,

    If you are drawing down pre-agreed and undrawn funds, that should remain possible.

    How long is left on the current mortgage and is it repayment or interest only?
