A separate loan alongside your mortgage

A secured loan uses your home as security for borrowing. When it sits behind an existing mortgage, it is known as a second charge mortgage.

Your current mortgage stays in place, and the new loan has its own interest rate, term and repayments. You need to keep up payments on both.

This can be worth exploring if you want to borrow without replacing your mortgage. It still adds debt secured against your home, so the costs and risks need careful consideration.

Both loans are secured on the same home. You need to keep up payments on both.

What are you planning?

Make changes to your home

A kitchen renovation, an extension or improvements that make daily life easier. A secured loan could help fund larger projects, subject to affordability and the lender accepting the purpose.

Set a realistic project budget before deciding how much to borrow. Spending on improvements does not guarantee an equivalent increase in your home’s value.

Bring existing borrowing together

A secured loan can repay selected loans or credit card balances, replacing those repayments with one loan repayment.

A lower monthly payment can mean paying for longer and paying more overall. Moving unsecured debts into a secured loan also puts your home at risk if you cannot repay.

If you are struggling with repayments, consider free debt advice through MoneyHelper before taking on more borrowing.

Equity is only part of the picture

Owning a home does not automatically mean a secured loan is available. Lenders consider the property and whether you can afford the borrowing.

Your home
Its value, type and ownership.
Your equity
The property’s value minus the mortgages and other borrowing already secured against it.
Your budget
Income, regular spending and existing repayments.
Your credit history
Current commitments and how you have managed borrowing.

The amount available depends on the lender’s criteria. Having equity does not mean you can borrow all of it.

Look beyond the monthly payment

A useful comparison shows how the loan fits your budget today and what it could cost over time.

What to compareWhy it matters
Monthly repayment

Can you afford it alongside your mortgage and normal living costs?

Loan term

Spreading repayments over longer can reduce the monthly amount but increase total interest.

Interest rate

Check whether it is fixed or variable, and what happens when any fixed period ends.

Fees and APRC

Ask about broker and lender fees. APRC (annual percentage rate of charge) expresses the annual cost of borrowing, including interest and relevant charges, to help compare loans.

Total repayable and early repayment charges

Understand the overall cost and any charge for repaying early.

Your Loans Warehouse broker can explain these details for the options available to you.
