Frequently Asked Questions

Am I eligible for a Secured Loan?

A secured loan is typically taken out against property – that’s why it’s known as a secured loan. As a result, you need to be a homeowner to qualify for one with an existing mortgage in place.

The reason for this is that the home will stand as security for the amount borrowed should you struggle to keep up with payments. Depending on the lender in question, you may also need to meet certain criteria when it comes to your credit score and affordability, but this varies.

Even if you have a low credit score, an adverse financial history, or non-standard sources of income, there will be specialist lenders out there who will consider you. Talk to us today and we’ll help you find them!

Yes, with the right approach, it’s definitely possible to take out a loan in these circumstances. Adverse credit won’t be a dealbreaker for all lenders, and there is a number out there who don’t use a credit scoring system.

Whether you have a low credit score, have previously been in an IVA/DMP, have been made bankrupt and are now discharged, or have a number of defaults, CCJs, and missed payments, we can help. Contact us today to start raising your funds!

secured loan can typically be used for any legal purpose, making it a popular option for those who want to escape the restrictions set by many mortgage providers and be more financially flexible in the future. Many people choose to take out a secured loan to consolidate debt, conduct home improvements, or to make large payments like higher education fees.

A secured loan can be a suitable method of consolidating debt, and this is why many people choose to take one out. Often, doing so means paying less interest overall compared to having lots of smaller loans or credit card bills.

However, it’s important to think carefully before moving forwards, as consolidating unsecured loans into a single secured loan will put your property at risk. For help working out whether or not a secured loan is a good option for you, get in touch with a member of our friendly team.

The amount the mortgage lender may be willing to lend you will usually depend on the Loan To Value (LTV) ratio. Most secured loan lenders have different LTV criteria and will take into account different criteria including affordability, credit score, amount outstanding of first mortgage, debts and outgoings, employment status and personal circumstances.

Lenders offering secured loans tend to be more flexible when it comes to affordability than mortgage lenders. The income multiples they use may be higher, meaning you can potentially borrow extra finance. It’s also more likely that multiple streams of income will be considered in the affordability calculations (benefits, pensions, bonuses/commission/overtime, zero-hour contracts, contractor income), maximising the amount you can borrow.

Typically, secured loans are taken out against the equity you have in your home. As this is a loan taken out alongside an existing one, you can’t usually borrow against the full market value.

If you’re looking to take out a secured loan but don’t know where to start and don’t know how much you can expect to borrow When the Bank Says No can help. Our team of specialist mortgage brokers have years of experience helping our clients raise the funds they need. Talk to us today to find out how we can help!

Remortgaging involves switching deals to get a better mortgage rate or to release equity in your property. This differs from a secured loan which will run alongside your existing mortgage, and there are circumstances when it may be advantageous to go with this option instead.

If you have a good deal on your first mortgage, perhaps with particularly low fixed interest rates, you won’t lose this if you take out a secured loan. You can keep the same terms on your current mortgage and also avoid any potential early repayment charges. Additionally, taking out a secured loan may give you the opportunity to make unlimited overpayments, meaning you could pay off your secured loan early to save on interest charges.

Bear in mind, some first mortgage companies may have to provide permission to the secured loan lender before it can be granted. You may also be charged a higher rate of interest on a secured loan than your first loan’s rate, though the rates may still be lower than other types of debt. This is because securing the loan against your home reduces the risk to the mortgage lender and they look on it more favourably than other types of credit.

Yes! There are many more options out there than the typical high street banks. Specialist lenders will often be more flexible with their terms, even allowing you to borrow additional funds using solely benefit income. There are also options out there for older borrowers; many specialist lenders won’t restrict a maximum age at the end of the loan term and will allow pension income to be used in affordability calculations. They just want to be assured that you’ll be able to meet the mortgage repayments.

Yes, secured loans are a popular way for those who are tied into mortgage deals to access additional funds. You will usually need to get the consent of your current lender (but not always!). The reason for this is that the secured loan is a secured loan on your title deed.

At the end of your tie-in period, you can then look to remortgage with a better deal, and repay this if it works out more cost-effective to do so. If you’re still not sure, feel free to call us for a chat. We’ll explain everything you need to know.

A secured loan can be taken out on any property you own, but it doesn’t have to be your main home. Of course, it’s common for secured loans of this nature to be taken out on a main residence, but you can also raise these funds for a Buy to Let property, a second home, or even a semi-commercial property.

If you’re not sure whether the property you want to raise funds for is eligible, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’ll explain all the ins and outs of secured loans so you can proceed with confidence.
