Whatever your goal, a homeowner loan can unlock the value tied up in your property — on terms that work for you.
01
Consolidate high-interest debts — credit cards, personal loans, car finance, council tax and more — into one manageable monthly payment.
02
Raise cash for that new kitchen, loft conversion or extension — and add lasting value to your home in the process.
03
Even with a poor credit history, there are many secured loan options available at reasonable rates from specialist lenders.
A homeowner loan – sometimes called a second-charge mortgage – lets you borrow against the equity you’ve already built, while leaving your existing mortgage exactly where it is. No remortgage. No new fixed-rate to break. Just a separate, secured line of money sitting quietly behind the first charge on your home.
Your existing mortgage remains your first charge. A homeowner loan is secured against your property too, but it sits behind your mortgage in repayment priority.
If you’re locked into a competitive fixed rate, a remortgage could cost you thousands in early repayment charges. A homeowner loan means we can borrow money without touching your mortgage deal.
Self-employed, contracting, or carrying a few credit bumps? Second-charge lenders look at the whole picture, not just a checkbox. Funds typically land in 2–3 weeks.

Typically, you can borrow up to 85% of your primary home’s equity. If the loan is secured against an investment or Buy-to-Let property, the borrowing limit is generally capped at 80% LTV, depending on your income profile.
A secured loan is registered as a secondary charge, meaning it doesn’t impact your main mortgage’s Loan-to-Value calculation. When your primary mortgage term ends, you can choose to remortgage normally or consolidate both loans into a single agreement.
Most secured loan applications are approved within 3 to 5 weeks. Once approved, the funds are typically transferred to your bank account within 7 days. If time is critical, your advisor can prioritize lenders known for rapid processing.
Yes, many specialist lenders specifically cater to homeowners who have faced past credit challenges, such as missed payments or defaults. Your mortgage broker will assess your profile to match you with a lender that suits your situation.
The primary difference lies in collateral. A secured loan is backed by your property, which enables lower interest rates and higher borrowing amounts over longer terms. An unsecured loan relies solely on your credit score, has lower limits, and typically carries higher rates.
You have full flexibility. Homeowners commonly use these funds for home improvements (like loft extensions, new kitchens, or garden makeovers) or consolidating higher-interest debts (such as store cards or car finance) into one monthly payment.
