Second charge rates remain low and attractive

For the time being second charge interest rates are likely to remain at their all-time lows. If you are considering a new loan now could be the time to make your move.

Second charge loan interest rates have been tumbling for months now. This type of loan could be used as an alternative to a re-mortgage if it fits your lending criteria. Second charge lending is growing in stature and is now a very serious alterative to the once traditional re-mortgage.

Lenders have seen the potential growth in this area of raising funds and have responded well by offering competitive short and long-term packages to suit the majority of requirements.

This form of loan will not suit everybody, but it is worth exploring with the advice of a qualified independent adviser. Remember this is a secured form of lending and therefore will in most cases be far cheaper than an unsecured loan.

These days the choices of loans open to homeowners is vast and it is vital to get the correct one to suit your needs. Making the wrong choice could prove to be very expensive over the longer term so do seek professional independent advice.

Many borrowers now are also viewing second charge loans as a simple and a cost-effective alternative to mainstream lending.

Seconds are so flexible and easy

A second charge mortgage provides an extremely useful alternative where consumers want to raise additional funds but do not want to change their existing first charge mortgage – especially if there would be additional costs in doing so.

Second charge lending has many uses and one of the advantages of this type of loan lies in its flexibility.

It may be the case that those who need to raise funds are not aware they can do so through a second charge which is, of course, where independent advisers and brokers come in. This type of lending can be suitable for a far wider range of situations than many realise.
