A Second Charge mortgage is, as the name suggests, a separate and additional mortgage to the homeowner’s main (or first) mortgage.
Second charge mortgages (sometimes known as ‘Homeowner Loans’) are loans which are secured against the borrower’s residential property, and as such, are available only to homeowners. In common with remortgages, second charge mortgages are sometimes used by homeowners to raise money.
When considering a second (‘further’) advance, the lender will take into account the value of the borrower’s home, less any mortgage owed on it. The difference between the two amounts is known as ‘equity’ and provides the lender with security against the loan. If for example, the home is estimated to be worth £300,000 and the amount remaining to be paid on the mortgage is £100,000, the equity is £200,000. In addition to the amount of equity that’s available, the lender will consider the borrowers’ ability to service both mortgages if interest rates were to rise.
By taking a second mortgage, the homeowner will have two mortgages on his or her home. In common with a first mortgage, the borrower’s home will be at risk if he or she fails to keep up the mortgage payments.
When the property is sold, or the homeowner moves to a new home, the amount owing on the first mortgage must be repaid in full before anything is paid off the second mortgage.
Generally speaking, lenders charge a higher rate of interest on second charge mortgages than they do on first or main mortgages. The rate of interest (which may fixed or variable) can also depend on the size and term of the loan, the homeowner’s credit rating and the amount of equity that exists in the home.
A MORTGAGE IS A LOAN SECURED AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT.
After much searching and initial enquiries with finance / investment management advisors it proved the right decision to go with Metcalf. At all stages confirmation that solution options met with my needs was paramount and always with a relaxed very professional approach. Louisa and the team are extremely knowledgeable.”
I have had a relationship with the Metcalf Wealth Managers team since 2017, and they have been very helpful in amalgamating various personal pension schemes into a SIPP and another longer-term pension structure. The team have also been integral regarding monthly drawdowns from the SIPP in a tax-efficient way, keeping me fully informed on the corresponding paperwork trail as necessary. I fully recommend their advisory services accordingly.
Metcalf Wealth Managers provide a highly professional service in a very friendly and helpful way which I value and appreciate. Louisa is extremely knowledgeable and explains matters properly without being confusing. I trust her guidance, advice and recommendations and I feel that my investments are being well managed and are in very capable hands.
I have been very pleased with the quality of work you carried out on my behalf and would be happy to both recommend you to others and approach you for your assistance again once my finances and/or situation requires it.
