“May saw the second charge mortgage market report its first contraction in new business volumes since April 2025. Despite this, new business volumes grew by 17% in the first five months of 2026.
“Demand is expected to remain resilient over the coming months as households seek flexible funding for home improvements, loan consolidation and other major expenses. Second charge mortgages continue to provide a valuable option for consumers looking to manage their finances effectively.”
