Recognise the opportunity

When to bring the scenario to Charles Frank

The strongest early conversations identify the client objective and the feature that makes a specialist route worth exploring.

01

A remortgage is unattractive

The current first-charge rate, early repayment charge or lender position makes replacing the whole mortgage worth comparing carefully.

02

The client needs capital

Home improvements, a tax liability, a buy-to-let deposit or another defined purpose creates a measurable funding requirement.

03

Income needs a human review

Self-employed, variable or multiple income sources need to be understood beyond a simple automated multiple.

04

Credit is not straightforward

Historic or recent credit events need a proportionate lender conversation and a clear account of what happened.

Prepare the conversation

The information that creates a stronger starting point

Requirements vary by lender and case. These are the details that usually help the specialist team understand the position quickly.

  • Estimated property value and current first-charge balance
  • Required amount and a clear breakdown of the borrowing purpose
  • Income, employment and regular financial commitments
  • Current mortgage rate, monthly payment and any early repayment charge
  • A concise explanation of any relevant credit history
  • The client’s objective, timing and preferred communication route

Partner questions

Useful context before the first conversation

Product and lender criteria change. A portal demonstration shows how current scenarios move into the specialist workflow.

No. A second charge is separate borrowing secured behind the existing first-charge mortgage. Both commitments remain payable and the complete cost and suitability need to be assessed.
