🚨 Mortgage rates could be heading higher

UK government borrowing costs have risen to their highest levels since the 2008 financial crisis, with 10-year gilt yields around 5.25% and 30-year yields approaching 5.9%.
Experts are warning that this could soon feed through to higher mainstream mortgage rates and we have already seen some specialist lenders increasing their pricing

If you're planning to buy, remortgage or refinance, now could be a good time to review your options and reserve a rate – Just in case!
It doesn't mean you should rush in to anything, but being prepared will give you more choices.

🏠 Why are UK homeowners turning to second charge mortgages in 2026? 📈

The second-charge market continues to grow, with £2.237bn of new business recorded in the 12 months to February 2026, up 25% year-on-year.

So, what’s driving demand? 👇
🔒 Keeping existing mortgages: Homeowners can raise additional funds without replacing their current mortgage.
💰 Debt consolidation: Consolidating existing borrowing to reduce monthly expenditure remains a major use of second-charge mortgages.
🛠️ Home improvements: More homeowners are using property equity to fund renovations and extensions rather than moving.
⬆️Evolution, new lenders with better technology have entered the market and make it a slick competitive option

📊 The bottom line: Second charges provide options for homeowners looking to access equity – whatever the circumstances!

Considering one? On of our independent mortgage advisers can help you understand what may be suitable for your circumstances.

📉 Are mortgage rates finally heading in the right direction?

After more than a month of increases, average UK mortgage rates have fallen - according to Moneyfacts.

It’s a small but welcome shift for borrowers after a period of significant market volatility. With rates changing quickly, the key question is whether this marks the start of a sustained downward trend or is simply a temporary reprieve.

For anyone considering a purchase or remortgage, now is a good time to review your options and understand what’s available.

💡 The mortgage market moves fast and so using us to keep an eye on rates for you could make a great difference to your borrowing costs.

Twenty weeks from today, Chartwell Funding turns 20 years old! 🎉

That means our story began back in 2007... and what a year that was.

📱 Apple introduced the very first iPhone, changing the way we live forever.
📺 Gavin & Stacey made its TV debut and quickly became a British favourite.
⚽ Manchester United reclaimed the Premier League title.
📚 Harry Potter fans queued around the world as the final book was released, selling an incredible 11 million copies in its first 24 hours.
🍺 The average pint cost just £2.64.

For us, though, 2007 marked the beginning of an incredible journey. We launched with a simple goal: helping people achieve their homeownership dreams with honest, expert mortgage advice.

Not long after, the global financial and mortgage crisis changed the industry forever. It was one of the toughest periods the market has ever seen, bringing uncertainty for homeowners, buyers and businesses alike.

But we adapted. We stayed true to our values, supported our clients through challenging times, and continued to grow by putting people first. Those years shaped who we are today and taught us the importance of resilience, trust and always being there when our clients need us most.

Now, almost 20 years later, we're proud to have helped thousands of people move home, remortgage and secure their future.

Over the next 20 weeks, we'll be taking a trip down memory lane, looking back at the moments that shaped our business, celebrating our amazing clients, employees and partners, and sharing some of our favourite memories along the way.

Here's to where it all began in 2007... and to the next chapter. 🏡❤️

🚫 Second Charge Mortgage Myths – Busted! 🏡

There are plenty of misconceptions about second charge mortgages. Let's clear up a few of the most common ones...

❌ Myth: You have to remortgage your home.
✅ Fact: A second charge mortgage allows you to keep your existing mortgage while borrowing against the equity in your property.
❌ Myth: They're only for people with bad credit.
✅ Fact: Second charge mortgages can be a suitable option for many homeowners, depending on their circumstances and financial goals.
❌ Myth: They're always more expensive than remortgaging.
✅ Fact: Whilst the interest rates are higher on second charge loans, in most cases a second charge loan can be more cost-effective than replacing your current mortgage, especially if you're tied into a competitive rate, face early repayment charges or risk losing interest only terms.

Every homeowner's situation is different, so it's important to get advice on the options available.
