What is a Second Charge Buy to Let Mortgage?
A second charge Buy to Let Mortgage is a type of secured loan taken out against a rental property that already has a primary (first charge) mortgage in place. It allows landlords to release equity from their investment property without refinancing the original mortgage. These loans are often used to fund property improvements, expand a rental portfolio, or cover unexpected expenses.
How does a Second Charge Buy to Let Mortgage work?
Unlike a First Charge Mortgage, where the lender has the primary legal claim on the property, a second charge mortgage is subordinate to the first. This means the original mortgage lender is repaid first if the property is sold or repossessed, followed by the second charge lender.
To qualify for a second charge Buy to Let mortgage, you must:
- Own a property with sufficient equity
- Have a current buy-to-let mortgage in place
- Be letting the property to tenants (not living in it yourself or your family)
