    You can't use a mortgage as security at all :D

    If your house is worth €200,000 and your mortgage is €50,000, you may be able to "release the equity" (€150,000) by taking out a personal loan and securing it on your house. This was probably popular during the boom years but banks are less likely to entertain it now. (my guess, never looked into it)

    Equity release may be an option but a mortgage as security is like saying if i default on a personal loan you can have my bigger loan for the house.

    We get what you mean though by using the property itself as security. This will depends on equity available on the property and ultimately your ability to repay the personal loan because if you cant do this then its an issue itself.
