What Is A Second Charge Mortgage?
A second charge mortgage is specifically designed to help borrowers with additional funding by securing funding against a property that already has existing borrowing against it from a different lender who has the first charge.
After a 'second charge' is complete, there are two lenders with charges against the property
Accelerated Finance is able to source second-charge mortgages for both residential and commercial assets in the UK.
Two Benefits of a Second Charge Mortgage
Here are two reasons why investors and developers opt for a Second Charge Mortgage
1. When There Are Complex Requirements
Traditional High Street lenders in many cases have a tick-box criterion to which they adhere.
Second Charge Loans can be more flexible, meaning they are individually tailored to your current situation.
2. Fast Finance To Utilise Existing Equity.
Mainstream finance can sometimes take months to organise and release funds. The great benefit with second charge finance is you can use your current asset without having to exit and pay fees to your existing lender.
You will have the freedom to use the extra funds to raise for further property or pursue other business ventures.
What Are The Main Reasons For Taking Out A Second Charge Mortgage?

Will I Need to Consult My First Charge Lender To Apply For a Second Charge?
