What is a Second Mortgage?

A second mortgage is a short-term loan where you use your home equity to secure another loan in complete privacy. In other words, it is using your home as collateral while still paying it off.

The amount we can lend for a second mortgage is dependent on your home equity, which is the difference between your home’s value and the amount you still owe. Technically, you don’t own your entire home until you’ve fully paid it off. The part that you own is the equity and can be used to secure a second mortgage loan.

Example – if your home is worth $500,000 and you owe $120,000 on your mortgage, your home equity is $380,000.

Second mortgage loans base their value on the current equity of the property. Generally, a home’s value increases over time, which also means your equity increases. New Zealand’s real estate market has seen a rapid increase in the past years, so your home’s value should have also increased.

Your home’s equity also increases if you’ve made improvements in the home. A kitchen renovation, an additional bedroom or a basement turned second living room adds value to your property.

How Does it Work?

First we have an application process, your loan approval and a loan pay-out. You are required to make regular loan repayments (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly) on top of your regular mortgage payments.

Since you used your home as collateral, the loan is considered a “second” mortgage or Helic. Because this mortgage is dependent on the first home’s value and equity, it has, in most cases, higher interest rates than the first mortgage loans.

Please be aware that when you take a second mortgage loan, a mortgage is placed on the title of your property. A mortgage is the lender’s legal right to possess the property if you default on your loan repayments payments and your home can be foreclosed and sold.

When to Get a Second Mortgage?

Unlike a banking home mortgage that you can only use to buy a house, a second mortgage can be used for almost anything.

Before you decide to get a second mortgage, remember that it comes with the possibility of higher interest rates. It is also another debt, another loan repayment payment you have to make. But if you are really short on money for a project, it is still a better option because it usually has a lower interest rate than a credit card.

When should you consider releasing equity?

Please note, this information is not to be considered financial advice.
