Secured Loan Index: Second charge lending hits 4th record month of 2022

16 September 2022

Second charge lending totalled £166.5 million in August 2022, figures reported directly to Loans Warehouse from second charge lenders confirm.

In addition to an incredible fourth month in 2022 where a post-financial crisis record has been set and a 3.2% increase on July 2022, August 2022 saw an annual increase of 74.08%.

The annual growth has now increased again and is set to surpass £1.75 billion in 2022 - another post-financial crisis record.

The most noticeable change in August’s figures to recent months is the drop in lending above 85% LTV, down 3.33% on July 2022.

Completion times have seen a slight decrease as lenders have successfully recruited in recent months to manage the increased demand.
