A great solution for your clients

Our second charge mortgage could offer a great solution to your clients who find themselves in the following circumstances:

  • Your customer has a competitive first charge interest rate that would be lost if they remortgaged
  • Their circumstances have changed and can no longer attract favourable terms as they had in the past or they have been declined
  • If your customer has an interest only first charge, a remortgage would require the entire debt to be repaid on a full repayment basis which may result in more expensive repayments
  • Their first charge mortgage is subject to ERCs
  • They require lending on a short-term basis
  • Customers want to borrow £25k+ and unavailable on a personal loan
A great solution for your clients
