Many secured loan providers will not be prepared to lend money against a property as a third charge, following a first and second mortgage - Hence why these types of secured loans are often referred to as second charges.

A second charge is another term for a secured loan, or second mortgage. Any first mortgage or subsequent secured loan will be arranged by way of a legal charge that is secured against a property. On completion of a second charge loan, the lenders solicitor will make arrangements for the charge to be registered at the land registry department, following that of your first mortgage.

It is perhaps a common misconception by many borrowers that as long as the repayments on a first mortgage are kept up to date, their property is not at risk from being repossessed following missed payments on a second charge loan - This is in no way true. A second charges provider will pursue court action, and ultimately possession of your property subject to the Court order being granted, if you do not keep up your repayments on time.

In the event that a property is repossessed and subsequently sold; the proceeds from the sale will firstly be used to pay off the outstanding first mortgage and then the balance of any further charges, in order of registration at the land registry - Any funds left over will go to the borrower.

Second charges exist within the finance industry as a flexible and viable capital raising option for many homeowners. They can offer a fast solution to a borrowers finance needs and can be used for any purpose. In most cases, loan sizes are made available from 5,000 to 100,000 over terms ranging from 5 years up to 30 years.

The appeal of a second charge loan to many borrowers is the speed in which the finance can be arranged, the competitive rates of interest on offer, the minimal charges applied on early redemption, the accessibility and flexibility. For those borrowers with a poor credit history or limited proof of income; the lenders security over the property can result in a more accessible route to their finance requirements.
