With the current increased popularity of second-charge mortgages, we take a look at Spring Finance and see if it lives up to its mantra of providing second-charge mortgages to those “who are unable to obtain finance from traditional high street lenders.”
Established in 2011, Spring Finance offers long term second charge loans of £5,000 to £200,000 to UK homeowners with repayment terms of up to 25 years.
Since former Masthaven CEO Andrew Bloom acquired a large majority stake in the provider back in 2021, Spring Finance has ramped up its expansion with the hiring of several ex-Masthaven Bank bridging loans experts, including their previous head of business development, Jim Baker. In 2022, this expansion continued with Spring Finance entering the bridging and development finance market, now offering both regulated and unregulated loans on a first and second charge basis.

Spring Finance offers second-charge mortgages on both residential homes and buy-to-let investment properties.
You should only apply for a secured loan if you’re certain you can meet the repayment terms. You must also meet the following criteria:
