Does a reportage v remortgage with a drawdown have different rates?

Just trying to line up my ducks based on booking a consultation for a remortgage.  My £150k 2yr fix ends  early next year BUT I want to pull £200k out on top too.

Will they charge a higher rate on the drawdown 'based on what it will be used for'?  Say 20% deposit on a holiday home or BTL v buying a car (fast one!) etc, or will they just be happy its secured on main asset at 55% LTV?

Just need to know how they think as I have a few ways to fund this planned project.

Cheers

    The only thing that affects the rate are:
    LTV,
    Tie in period,
    Fees/no fees. 

    Whether you take it out for a fast car, faster women, home improvements or anything else will not have an impact on the rate.
