Secured Loans Service
A secured loan lets you borrow money at competitive interest rates by using your home as collateral. Often referred to as a second charge mortgage, this type of loan places your primary mortgage as the priority if you fail to make payments. It’s an ideal solution when you need a significant amount of funding for planned expenses.

What Can I Use a Secured Loan For?
A secured loan is versatile and can be used for various purposes. You might choose to use it to purchase a new car, fund home improvements such as an extension or loft conversion, cover the cost of a wedding, or consolidate debts to simplify your finances.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your home, manage significant expenses, or achieve financial stability, a secured loan offers the flexibility to meet your specific needs.
The value of your home minus the outstanding mortgage balance.
Your income, outgoings, and financial commitments.
A higher credit score may improve your borrowing options.
Our team will assess your financial situation thoroughly to determine the amount you qualify for. By considering your monthly income, existing debts, and other expenses, we’ll ensure the loan fits your budget without unnecessary strain.
How Long Can I Borrow For?
While secured loans provide access to larger sums of money, they come with significant responsibility. Your home acts as collateral, meaning that failure to keep up with monthly payments puts your property at risk.
Our team will guide you through this decision, helping you weigh the benefits against the potential risks.
Before committing, consider:
Loan Terms
How Long Can I Borrow For?
Loan durations are flexible and can range from 2 to 25 years. This allows you to tailor repayments to your specific financial situation. Shorter terms may result in higher monthly payments but lower overall interest, while longer terms can reduce monthly costs, spreading the payments over a more manageable period.
Our experienced loan team will work with you to calculate the ideal balance between repayment levels and loan duration, helping you make an informed choice.
What Are the Risks of Secured Loans?

Alternative financing options that may pose less risk

Secured Loans vs. Unsecured Loans
The key difference between secured and unsecured loans lies in the collateral:
Backed by your home, allowing for larger loan amounts and often lower interest rates.
Based on your creditworthiness, with no collateral required, typically suited for smaller sums.
If you need a substantial loan amount and have equity in your property, a secured loan may be the best option.
