Second charge lending continues expanding to meet needs

The majority of homeowner at some stage of ownership will want to raise extra cash for a venture they have in mind. Raising those funds can be very confusing as many people just do not understand what options are available to them. Ever more popular these days is to raise funds secured on the family home, known as a second charge which is a loan that sits behind the current mortgage secured on the property.

 Second charge market  

Much has been said about the upward trend of the second charge sector over the past year. Brokers and clients alike continue to be surprised at how competitive the rates of interest are plus the wide range of products on offer.

Currently the interest rates on offer are very competitive with some lenders offering the potential to secure even cheaper rates based on risk, second charges provide a valid alternative for clients looking to raise additional funds against their property.

Getting advice is absolutely essential

Very simply the best thing to do if you wish to borrow money is to get independent advice from a fully qualified broker, the independent broker will have access to all loans available to you and will guide you in the correct direction.

Range of deals on offer

Not so long ago in the “seconds market” there was not even a fixed-rate option available, with every second charge product at the lender’s standard variable rate. The fact that discounted and fixed rates have been added to product ranges is testament to the progress of the sector in a relatively short period.
