Turn your home improvement hopes into reality
HOMEOWNER LOANS
Make your home fit
for purpose
An extension or en-suite loft conversion. New windows or unexpected repairs. Even a full-scale overhaul. Whatever home improvement you’re planning, these are exciting times – dampened only by the thought of finances halting your plans.
A Homeowner Loan can cast aside the doubt and give your renovations the green light. As a UK residential mortgage holder, you can take one out – secured against the equity in your property. This can mean you avoid the drawbacks of other borrowing alternatives.
You’ll be able to keep your existing mortgage rate and avoid the early repayment charge of remortgaging. You won’t be restricted by the limited criteria of a Further Advance. You won’t need to tell your existing first charge mortgage provider about changes of circumstance. And you won’t have to face the embarrassment of a straight ‘no’ from them, either.
WHAT IS A HOMEOWNER LOAN?
A Homeowner Loan – also known as a secured loan or second charge mortgage – allows you to borrow money using your property as security.
That means you can apply for one as a UK residential mortgage holder, even if your credit history isn’t perfect. You may also be able to borrow more at a lower interest rate than other types of loan – because the loan is repaid over a longer period.
It’s important you always pay on time with a Homeowner Loan; your home could be at risk of being repossessed if you don’t. It’s a good idea to talk to a broker first – they can recommend the right option for you.
