A second mortgage is the second loan that a home owner has borrowed and secured against their home. The interest rate on the second loan is higher than for the first one as the lender compensates him self for the fact that the risk is higher for losing his money. The loan charges will be less as there is already a loan registered on your name.

The reasons home owners borrow this loan are varied. It could be to pay the deposit on the home that was purchased with the first loan, or perhaps to pay off some large debt. You might have to arrange a wedding and would need quite a large amount of money to pay for all the finery and the reception.

Your home could be in need of renovations and your garden might need to be landscaped to give more street appeal to make it easier to resell it later on. You could do all these things with your second loan and while you are enjoying your renovated home you can be paying off the loan.

This loan does not necessarily have to be taken from the same bank as the first loan. You could shop around for a lower interest rate. Loans are available from certain solicitors’ offices who lend money on behalf of investors. They are prepared to lend you money at a slightly lower interest rate than the going rate at the banks. You could probably locate these solicitors in the local yellow pages for more details.
