Positive doubles second charge business since flat fee launch

"Earlier this year Positive Lending launched a fresh approach for second charge mortgages and the response has been fantastic."

The packager credits this surge in business directly to its packaging fee proposition which charges a flat £995 for residential second charge mortgages and allows the advising broker to retain 100% of the procuration fee and any broker fee.

Paul McGonigle, Chairman at Positive Lending, commented: “Earlier this year Positive Lending launched a fresh approach for second charge mortgages and the response has been fantastic. Our intermediary partners tell us that they appreciate the transparency of our fee structure and, more importantly, that our proposition means they can ensure the very best and most cost effective loan outcome for their clients.

"With so many packagers insisting on more complex and expensive second charge fee structures, we’ve attracted many new intermediary relationships due to our transparent and fair offering. Positive Lending charge a flat £995 packager fee for all DA advised residential secured loans. The intermediary receives 100% of the proc fee plus they can charge and retain 100% of any broker fee.
