Description

It’s easy to find influencers online who project an image of home living perfection. But did you ever wonder how they pay for it?

Small improvements can be funded from savings, 0% cards or normal loans but bigger projects require either remortgaging or what is called a ‘second charge mortgage’

Mouthy Money speaks to David Coleman from Positive Lending, a leader provider of second charge mortgages.

David breaks down for Ed and Chris how the loans work, what people need to consider when looking at ways to fund their home improvement and what to look out for in the process.
