A second charge mortgage allows you to borrow against the equity in your home while keeping your existing first mortgage in place. This can be an ideal solution when remortgaging isn't suitable or when you need to raise a substantial sum for home improvements, debt consolidation, or other major expenses.
Excellent First Mortgage Rate - Keep your competitive existing mortgage deal rather than potentially moving to a higher rate.
Early Repayment Charges - Avoid hefty penalties on your current mortgage that would make remortgaging expensive.
Credit Changes - Your circumstances have changed since your original mortgage, making remortgaging difficult.
Speed of Access - Generally quicker to arrange than a full remortgage, often completing in 4-6 weeks.
Flexible Borrowing - Access exactly the amount you need without disturbing your main mortgage arrangements.
Home Improvements - Fund extensions, renovations, or modernisation projects that add value to your property.
Debt Consolidation - Combine multiple high-interest debts into one manageable monthly payment at a lower rate.
Business Investment - Raise capital for business opportunities or to support cash flow.
Education Costs - Fund university fees or other educational expenses for family members.
Investment Opportunities - Finance property investments or other ventures.
Emergency Funding - Access funds quickly for unexpected major expenses.
You'll have two separate mortgage payments - your existing first mortgage continues unchanged, and you'll have an additional monthly payment for the second charge loan. The second lender takes a legal charge over your property, ranking behind your first mortgage lender.
