Second charge as an alternative to a remortgage.
Remortgages are extremely popular at the moment, as the availability of all-time low-interest rates continues. As more homeowners become aware of this availability, an increasing number are seeking to secure their financial futures by opting for a 5 year fixed rate option.
But what if a remortgage is not available to you? Perhaps you are locked into a deal that could mean paying significant early repayment charges. You may be working for yourself and finding it a challenge to obtain a personal loan, or perhaps your credit rating has altered, limiting the mortgages you can apply for.
If it’s capital you are seeking a raise, a possible alternative may be a second charge mortgage.
There are cases where sourcing a second charge, and combining that with your existing mortgage, offers a more affordable rate than a first charge remortgage.
