About this product

Turn Declined Cases into Revenue

Don't let rigid lending criteria cost you a client. When a further advance is rejected or remortgaging isn't viable, a Second Charge Mortgage keeps your cases moving.

Cases We Can Help You Rescue

  • Further Advance Declined

    When your client’s current lender rejects a further advance, we source a second charge mortgage to raise capital without disturbing the primary loan.

  • Favourable First Charge At Risk

    Protect your client’s competitive interest rate and/or bypass heavy redemption penalties by utilising our second charge panel rather than remortgaging.

  • Unsecured Borrowing Capped

    When unsecured personal loans cannot meet the required loan amount or term length, we leverage property equity to unlock larger sums at competitive rates.

  • Adverse Credit History

    We bypass rigid high-street criteria by matching clients with specialist lenders who accept historical defaults, active CCJs, IVAs, or discharged bankruptcies.

  • Complex Income Streams

    We place complex cases with specialist lenders who look beyond standard criteria to accept self-employed clients, contractors, and multi-stream revenues.

  • Sole-Owner, Joint-Borrower

    We have access to flexible lenders who accept joint mortgage applications even when the underlying property deeds are registered to a single owner.
