Second charge bridging loans
A second charge bridging loan is a short term loan that is taken out in addition to your first charge mortgage. "Second charge" simply means that the first mortgage is the priority debt, and will be the first to be repaid should the property ever be repossessed.
A second charge bridging loan can help when you're looking to buy or sell a property quickly. Because they're so quick to arrange, you wont be waiting around for weeks, this makes them the perfect solution to finance the quick purchase of a new property at auction!
Typically a second charge bridging loan term is between 3-12 months. They tend to be exited by either refinancing to a longer term financial solution or selling the property to pay back the loan.
