Second charge lending surges by 22% in June
The latest figures from the Finance and Leasing Association reveal a sharp rise in second charge mortgage lending, up 22% in June to £177 million.
A total of 3,505 loans were completed in the month, 16% higher than June last year. Year-to-date lending to June reached £1.87 billion, a 25% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
The breakdown of loan purposes in June 2025 follows familiar patterns:
- 57.6% for debt consolidation
- 24.2% for debt consolidation combined with home improvements
- 12.6% for home improvements only
The message is clear, the second charge market is thriving, with robust demand across the board.
