Re mortgaging a shared ownership property

Does anyone know of a lender that will allow me to remortgage a shared ownership property of which I have a 50% share. The property is valued at £180000 and I have a mortgage of £29000 and wishh to borrow another 27k to clear my debts but there do not seem to be any lenders apart from a few that seem dody around, Any clues anyone ???

    Why not try your existing lender first. i would suggest making clear that the extra money is to clear existing debts rather than add to your total borrowing.

    Are you sure this is the way forward, remember that increasing your secured lending puts your home at risk if you can't afford the repayments....
