Refinance Options?

I currently have a 2nd mortgage that was used to buy some land a number of years ago. Unfortunately, the interest rate I received was extremely high (10% on $50k). Any ideas on how to refinance to get a lower rate? Thanks in advance!

    Is that a genuine dollar sign for someone in the US?

    If so, this is a UK site and unlikely to be of much help.

    If you are a UK borrower, you can consider a remortgage to consolidate this and your main mortgage together, or look for another secured loan/second charge at a lower rate.

    An independent mortgage broker would be able to help you compare the two options.

  • Sorry. I had no idea this was a UK site. I always thought such sites had a "uk" in them.

    No, believe it or not we have .com, .co.uk, .net and several others.

    All the best finding what you're looking for... ;)
