• Is raising capital for any legal purpose including business, tax bills, additional property etc.

• Has recently become self-employed, retired or has multiple income sources
• Is raising capital on an owned buy to let property
• Has been refused a 1st charge remortgage
• Requires a loan for a short period of time
• Needs a loan quickly
• Already has a high LTV

Secured Loan Rates

Our online secured loans calculator makes it quick and easy to provide an overview of the available options, however, it can be tricky to know exactly which details to enter to obtain a near accurate result.

Additional Secured Loan Fees

Along with fixed or variable rates of interest, additional secured loan fees almost always apply. An initial administration, application or arrangement fee may be payable at the time the homeowner loan is agreed which is typically from £250 to £1,000. Additional costs to consider include valuation fees and early repayment fees.

Comparing the market in full using an independent broker is the best way to avoid as many of these additional secured loan fees as possible. Fees vary significantly from one lender to the next, underlining the importance of comparing the market in its entirety.

Variable vs Fixed Rate Loans

A fixed rate secured loan will be charged at a rate of interest that remains unchanged during an agreed term, whereas variable interest rates can increase or decrease at any time. Variable interest rates usually fluctuate in response to shifting Bank of England Base Rates, or simply at the discretion of the lender.

In both instances, it is important to consider how much you will pay over the lifespan of the homeowner loan, not just which offer initially appears most competitive.
