Unemployed with owned rental property

Options
Hi, looking for options here. I am currently unemployed but actively looking for employment, it is taking some time to find work. I have limited savings but worried they will not last. I live in a mortgaged property but also own outright a rental property. I am wondering what options I may have to release some funds from either of my properties.

    Assuming you declare the rental income and that income is below £25k a year, you might have a couple of options but they will be limited. You will probably need a broker. 

    BTLs are not really my thing (I only do maybe 2-4 a year), so my knowledge is not exactly the best. But from memory there should be some options.
