A second charge mortgage uses the borrower’s home or investment property as security and sits as a legal charge behind the first mortgage. Common reasons for needing one include home improvements, putting down a deposit on another property, paying for a wedding or school fees and consolidating debt.
If this isn't your area of expertise or you are unable to help your client at this time, you can refer them using the form on the right.
The average commission for second charge mortgages is £1,340, depending on the partner and the type of service that you choose. Please contact your referral partner for more information.1
