Changing additional borrowing after mortgage offer

We currently have a mortgage offer from Halifax via a broker with additional borrowing. We no longer require the additional borrowing so can we cancel this now at this stage and also obtain a better rate as this would bring our LTV down from 85% to 60%
Thanks

You can, but you say "to get a better rate"? The 60% LTV rate you can get might be a new application and then will be at whatever rates apply today - if this makes any difference to your calculations.
You can probably (but I've never done it) just take less money at the original rate without too much issue, although one of the mortgage advisors here will know better.1
