Have you got Seconds for Scotland?

You will likely have heard more about Scotland's property market in the last couple of years than ever before...and we're not going to be the ones to put a stop to that.

In fact, with so much excitement around the property market in Scotland, we’re delighted to announce the extension of our residential Second Charge mortgages into the country. This means you can offer a broader range of Second Charge mortgages to your existing intermediaries – and even build stronger (or entirely new) relationships with intermediaries in Scotland.

About a year ago, we launched our Second Charge mortgage product range. With the benefit of our group-wide experience of the market – it has come a long way in that short space of time. By adopting the same flexible, tailored lending approach that- helped us become a leading Bridging Lender, we meet borrower’s varying needs and preferences every day.

So, what's the update for you?
