collateral mortgage vs capital release mortgage

Hope I can explain what I mean in the way everyone can understand...
I am aware that collateral mortgages are not offered anymore but are capital release mortgage work in similar way?
Using below example:
Couple can get the standard mortgage to the max. amount 100k if they are selling their property and upsizing to another one.
However they own outright the property they live in and they could consider buying second one without selling their main property.
Would the combined mortage amount and capital release amount, still total up to 100k or because they own one property already lender would be willing to give them more because at the end of the day they have potentially 2 properties they could repossess to get their money back?
Also working on assumption that this couple is under the age of 50.
Thanks

No. You don't get to borrow more because you have more equity.
Your borrowing power is based only on your income and outgoings. These are assessed in different ways by different lenders.
You sound like you need to speak to a broker.
Finally, the ability to cross-charge (have a mortgage spread over two or more properties ended in the residential market when the One Account stopped new lending.)I am a mortgage broker.
