Why Secured Loans?

Why use a secured loan?
Blemain Finance have been in the business of providing both residential and semi-commercial secured loans for many years, and have always been aware that for some clients a secured loan can have distinct advantages when compared to a re-mortgage. It will become increasingly necessary for all brokers and IFAs to understand the benefits a secured loan can offer.

The distinct advantages of secured loans when compared to a re-mortgage are:

Quicker

 - CCA regulated secured loans can be typically completed within 17 to 30 days from the initial application rather than the 8 to 12 weeks required for a re-mortgage. Secured loans for business purposes can be completed in as little as 24 hours from enquiry to release of funds.

Cheaper

 - The total amount the client repays over the term can be less. Interest is only charged on the additional amount compared to a new interest rate being applied to the whole balance of a re-mortgage. If the re-mortgage is for a client whose credit-rating has declined then the whole balance of the re-mortgage is likely to be at a higher rate, or a product may not even be available.

Simpler to Accept

 - A secured loan application typically involves a 1 or 2 page application form and an instant “in principle” decision, with completion typically occurring within 24/48 hours of the lender receiving all of the correct documentation. The typical mortgage application can be up to 20 pages and can take considerably longer to process.
