Speed Is Important

Second charge lending continues to grow in stature month on month as homeowners look for loans at affordable rates. Homeowners are becoming very aware of the costs associated with unsecured lending and the so called “pay day lenders”.
A recent survey taken from 1000 homeowners clearly shows speed of completion is a very key factor when taking out a new loan. Obviously the costs and interest rates were very high on the list of wants but speed was very important also.
One of the big appeals of a second charge loan is it meets all the surveys key facts such as costs and speed. On average a second charge loan is completed within 21 working days, this does of course vary dependant on the complexity. This financial year has also seen a significant reduction in set up costs plus interest rates are at the lowest ever recorded.
Lenders have seen their market share grow at a rapid rate. They have been quick to recognise the importance of speed in completing a deal as competition increases. One major lender commented “The last 12 months has seen huge changes within the second charge market with faster completions being a key factor to winning business”.
There is no doubt second charge lending has had its most successful year, the good thing is lenders have taken this on board and reacted positively to meet the challenges.
