    You need to treat the endowment and the mortgage as two different things. Then you can marry them up and do a bit of mix and match.

    If you are happy with the endowment and intend to keep it running, you put that part of the mortgage on interest only. With the increased borrowing, you part that part on captial and repayment. Mix and match mortgages are very common and the lender will quote accordingly for you.
