What is a Second Charge Loan?

A second charge loan allows you to borrow against your property without changing your existing mortgage. It is secured on your home alongside your current mortgage, which will remain as is.

This makes it a useful option if you have a good existing mortgage rate which you do not want to disturb.

When might you need a Second Charge Loan?

We work tirelessly to source the right second charge solutions, considering a wide range of property types and scenarios, from residential, buy-to-let and commercial. Whether you’re looking to consolidate debt or raise funds for your personal or business goals, we’re here to make it happen.

Useful for combining multiple debts into a single, manageable loan. This is a great way to help you simplify repayments and stay on top of your finances while keeping your property secure.

Types of Second Charge Loans

Fixed Rate

A fixed rate loan has an interest rate that stays the same for a defined period. Your monthly loan repayments won’t change during this time, making it easier to budget. This is a good option if you want certainty and want to avoid interest rate increases.

Variable Rate

With a variable rate loan, the interest rate can go up or down over time. Your monthly repayments could change depending on market conditions. A variable rate is flexible and can sometimes be lower than a fixed rate.

Interest Only

An interest only loan means you will only pay the interest on the amount borrowed each month. This keeps repayments lower, but the original loan amount remains until the end of the term, when you’ll need to repay the full balance. This is suitable for short-term needs or cash flow management.

Commercial Bridging Loans

Commercial bridging loans provide short-term funding for situations where speed and flexibility are key, such as auction purchases, refinancing delays or property refurbishments. They are designed to bridge a temporary funding gap and can be arranged quickly. This finance type is best used as a short-term solution with a clear exit strategy in place e.g. refinancing onto a term option.
