A second mortgage is an additional loan secured against your property when you already have an existing mortgage. It allows you to borrow against the equity you’ve built up in your home, providing access to further funds for various purposes. Essentially, it’s a way to leverage the value of your property to achieve your financial goals, such as renovations, investments or debt consolidation.

Flexible finance using your existing property to access funds for growth, investment, or cash flow support.

FAQs
FAQs About Second Mortgages
How does a second mortgage affect my primary mortgage?
No, a second mortgage does not alter the terms of your primary mortgage. However, it is subordinate to the primary mortgage, meaning the primary lender has priority if you default.
How is a second mortgage different from refinancing?
A second mortgage lets you keep your existing first mortgage and adds an additional loan secured by your property. Refinancing replaces your current mortgage with a new one.
Do I need my first lender’s approval?
Yes, your first mortgage lender must consent to the second mortgage. We handle this process for you.
What interest rates apply to second mortgages?
Rates are generally higher than first mortgages because of the lender’s increased risk. We compare options to get the most competitive rate available for your circumstances.
