Second Mortgage
A second mortgage, or second charge loan, is a loan that is secured against the equity of a residential property in addition to the first mortgage. If there is no existing mortgage on your home, a second mortgage cannot be granted.
The second mortgage is subordinate to the first, and is paid off only after the first mortgage has been paid upon the sale of the property. Because this increases the risk to the lender, the interest rate (APR) is slightly higher than the rate on a first mortgage, but considerably lower than the rate charged on a loan that is not secured.
A second mortgage loan is most commonly used for debt consolidation and home improvement, but is not limited to this. As the loan is paid out in a lump sum to the borrower, the funds can be applied as the borrower sees fit.
