Equifinance homeowner loans
Equifinance helps homeowners use the equity in their property as security for loans of £5,000 to £150,000 to be repaid over 3 to 25 years.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other loan secured on it.

What is Equifinance?
Equifinance is a specialist lender that provides second charge mortgages for homeowners looking to use the equity they have in their home as security against a new loan. It also claims to offer lending products to those who have experienced financial difficulty in the past, or who have an unusual employment situation, such as being self-employed or new to their current job.
How do Equifinance loans work?
Equifinance offers a type of secured loan known as a second charge mortgage, which can be useful when you need funds for debt consolidation, home improvements or a bigger one-off purchase. A second charge mortgage uses the equity you have in your house as a guarantee against a new loan, without forcing you to remortgage or change your existing mortgage.
As a type of secured loan, Equifinance second charge mortgage loans may also offer more competitive interest rates than a regular unsecured loan, as well as longer repayment terms.
However, you should think carefully before applying for this type of loan because it puts your home on the line – if you don’t keep up repayments you may lose your property.
