Worked Case Study: Second Charge vs Remortgage Savings
Consider a borrower with a £250,000 primary mortgage fixed at 1.8% until 2028 who needs £40,000 for a loft conversion:
- Option A (Full Remortgage): Refinancing £290,000 at current market rates (5.5%) increases annual interest payments by over £9,000 and may trigger a £10,000 Early Repayment Charge.
- Option B (Second Charge): Raising £40,000 at 7.5% keeps the £250,000 fixed at 1.8%. Blended interest rate remains under 2.6%, saving thousands each year with zero ERCs.
