Find a solution with the secured loan guide

For brokers helping their clients to capital raise, this simple guide may help identify where a secured loan may be an alternative to a remortgage. Once the factor limiting a remortgage has been identified (age, income, adverse etc) referring to the relevant heading below may lead to a solution.

Insufficient income – 10 X joint is a realistic option

Using detailed income and affordability calculations we have secured lenders which can regularly lend to 10 X income multiples and beyond. 6 X is the norm with rates from 5.59%. Using income and expenditure assessments, the calculation of affordability is much more robust and accurate than the typical multiples used by mortgage lenders. In the case of a purchase we do have lenders which will arrange a secured loan to complete simultaneously with the mortgage.

Self employed income – Projections, bank statements and self assessments are all an option

Some of our lowest rate self employed products are available based on an income assessment using banks statements. We can also use the accountants projected income if the previous years accounts are poor. Where accounts are not available, or don’t reflect all of the income earned (cash payments etc) borrowers can self declare income backed up by an affordability assessment – up to 75% LTV.

Understanding Market Rates & Repayment Terms

Equity – Try 95% LTV, 125% LTV or Unsecured

Second charge lenders will lend to 95% (or circa £10,000 max up to 125% LTV) but don’t forget about our unsecured loan up to £25,000 – with rates from 8.8% this can work out cheaper and faster than a high LTV secured loan. Fast online DIP and payouts in 48 hours – Prime clients only

Heavy adverse credit – We can even pay of current bankruptcies or IVA’s

At 65% LTV we have second charge loans up to £50,000 which can handle virtually unlimited adverse credit and have a number of lenders to choose from depending on property location, proof of income and loan amount required. Loans are also available from 65% LTV to 75% LTV from £5000 to £30,000 – accounts not required – heavy arrears and CCJ’s accepted.

Mild Adverse credit – many historic CCJ’s, defaults or arrears are ignored

More secured lenders are looking at recent conduct and we can ignore a lot of historic smaller CCJ’s, defaults and arrears – again options will vary dependant on level of adverse, loan size and LTV but as an example we can still place a £50000 loan up to 80% LTV, where there is a missed mortgage payment over 6 months ago plus minor satisfied CCJ’s and unsecured arrears.

Key Criteria & Application Guidance

Loan Purpose

Our lenders will look at loans for business, capital raising, debt consolidation, marital buyouts, paying off IVA’s and current bankruptcies plus a whole lot more. Call us to discuss any unusual loan purposes.
