How it works.

How a second charge works

A second charge mortgage lets you borrow against the equity in your home. They used to be called second mortgages and can be an alternative to remortgaging when you want to keep your current mortgage.

You may be able to raise funds without changing your existing home loan or lender, which can avoid some of the fees and costs of taking out a new first mortgage.

Things to weigh up

A second charge is a secured loan and the amount available depends on the equity in the property.

Rates are often higher than first charge rates because of the extra risk to the lender, and repayment terms are commonly shorter, although both can vary.

Suitability, affordability and the effect on your property should always be considered carefully.
