SECURED LOANS

Loans secured against your property could help you raise finance quickly.

BRIDGING LOANS

A Bridging loan might be the solution to help your property transaction go through.

As the name suggests, a secured loan is secured against your property. You can generally raise finance for any purpose, and the loan can be processed quicker than a mortgage.

 

The loan would be arranged as a second charge on your property, with the first charge being your mortgage.This means that you must have a reasonable amount of equity to qualify for a secured loan. These loans are an ideal way of raising finance if you are tied in to your mortgage and still subject to an Early Repayment Charge.

You can leave your current mortgage in place and keep the new loan completely separate. We can source the lowest interest rates available from a large panel of lenders, and therefore there is no need to shop around, as we do the shopping around to get the lowest rate.

A bridging loan can tide you over in the short term when you are looking to complete the purchase of your new home while waiting to sell your old property.

 

It is a predetermined short term loan that is commonly for a 12 month period or less, allowing you to complete the purchase of your home quicker than would have been initially possible, where it could have failed as a result of the purchase or selling chain being disrupted.

 

Bridging loans are unregulated but provide a useful and speedy facility for finance in certain circumstances. A bridging loan is a specialist arrangement and requires a high degree of expertise. Use an expert intermediary at Consult Mortgages to help you arrange one.
