Glueless patch on the inside? Will try.
I'm already using Caffe Latex.

Potted history of my road tubeless tyre adventures:
DT Swiss R411 rims with Schwalbe Pro 1, the wheel builder set them up for me.
Rear punctured on first ride and would not seal, ended up riding it with a tube (for about a year) until the tyre became deformed from being taken off the rim too many times as it suffered further punctures.
Replaced with a Hutchinson Padrone, that punctured on the first weekend, I tried to glue it but only managed to create a slow puncture and the sidewall of the tyre became porous due to riding it at low pressure. Put a tube in it and carried on fine (no further punctures) until I broke a spoke on the rear wheel so had to take it off anyway (about 9 months later).
By this time the Pro-1 on the front wheel had about 5,000km on it and was weeping sealant but still rode fine and held air well enough.
I binned both tyres and fitted IRC X Guards. They were tight to get on, I needed to use the IRC tyre levers. Would not quite inflate with a track pump but a CO2 cartridge got them seated and they remained seated when i deflated to add sealant through the valve stem. Went out for a quick ride and they feel good. They seem quite narrow for 25c.
If I end up with a tube in the back wheel, I'm going back to regular tyres.

yes, IME a big organisation will want to protect their reputation, and will have processes in place to make this happen. of course, there will be exceptions but in general, reputation counts.

Brave, you have hit all the buttons there.

As far as I remember, I just had to answer a load of questions over the phone, which took a while, and confirm that I had declined to have independent advice and that Nationwide were not providing advice on the product I was taking out.
-
Odd, I have taken out additional borrowing with Nationwide several times and didn't have to pay any fees.

It doesn't become irretrievable as you can re-mortgage pretty much whenever you want.
Another way to look at the same question: would you go and borrow another £100k+ on existing equity to invest elsewhere?
For me, the answer is no unless I had a really specific and compelling investment case.

Any reason not to do option 2?
Tax?
Also, investment risk.
I'd like to recommend @marxist_vulcan
Many thanks dude.
