Second charge lending has increased to £135M in March 2023

25 April 2023

I’m delighted to share the latest Secured Loan Index:

“Second charge lending has increased to £135M in March 2023, figures reported directly to Loans Warehouse from second charge lenders confirm.

 

This jump in lending represents a 20.85% increase compared to February’s figures. This growth is considered a clear sign that Second Charge lenders are feeling confident for the first time since the October 2022 mini-budget.

 

This figure is just 6.49% down year on year, and it was fair to say that when March 2022 figures were released the market was considered buoyant.  Unsurprisingly figures for Q1 are also down, 15.85% below the same period in Q1 2022”.
