Second Charge Mortgage
Second Charge Mortgage explained
A second charge mortgage is based on the difference between the value of your property and the amount you owe on your first mortgage. A second charge mortgage is completely separate from your original mortgage and can be a good way to access extra funds without remortgaging.
It means you will have two mortgages on your home. For example, if your home is worth £250,000 and you have £150,000 left to pay on your mortgage, you have £100,000 in equity for a second charge mortgage.
If you live in the property you are protected by the FCA as this is a regulated loan.
Being regulated by FCA means you are protected from incorrect advice or mis-selling and this protection is made exclusively for consumers and their own homes.
If you live in the South West or South Coast of England or South Wales, you can arrange a second charge mortgage with Bricks Finance.
