Commenting on the latest new business figures for the second charge mortgage market, Fiona Hoyle, Director of Consumer & Mortgage Finance and Inclusion at the Finance & Leasing Association (FLA), said:

“The second charge mortgage market made a positive start to 2026 although the pace of growth slowed slightly compared with recent months.

“Following the FCA’s recent report on second charge mortgages, the FLA will be working closely with the regulator to understand their findings as we continue to support customers who want to consolidate higher-interest rate loans into more affordable borrowing.”
