Second charge mortgages are often taken out to re-organise personal finances, and can allow customers to consolidate existing debt into easy to manage monthly payments. All applications are considered and assessed individually but you should be aware that when consolidating existing credit this may result in you extending the repayment term of your debt and could increase the total amount you repay. How much could I borrow? With a second charge mortgage from Optimum Credit, you can borrow up to £1,000,000 subject to your individual circumstances and credit checks. This often could be more than you could borrow with an unsecured personal loan – the main difference being that the borrowing is secured against the value of your home. Can I repay my second charge mortgage in full? Property valuation Our second charge mortgages We offer competitive fixed, discounted and variable rate products. Optimum products are available by application either directly via our fully qualified mortgage advisors or through one of our carefully selected Broker intermediaries (in both cases fees may apply). You may be able to borrow up to 100% of your property’s value, less the existing mortgage balance, subject to a satisfactory valuation and a minimum property value.
