About Our Service
Secured Loan Rates is a trading name of Charles Frank Finance Limited, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 624668). We are a credit broker, not a lender. We introduce customers to lenders from our carefully selected panel. We do not charge you a fee for our service — we receive a commission from the lender if a loan successfully completes.
Use of This Website
This website is provided for UK residents aged 18 or over who are homeowners. The information on this site is for general guidance only and does not constitute financial advice. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy, we do not guarantee that the information is complete, up to date, or error-free. The calculators and tools on this site provide indicative figures only. Actual loan offers may differ based on your individual circumstances, credit profile, and the lender's assessment.
Eligibility
To apply for a secured loan through our service, you must: • Be aged 18 or over • Be a UK homeowner (or buying a property) • Have sufficient equity in your property • Meet the lender's affordability and credit criteria Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee that you will receive a loan offer. All applications are subject to the lender's assessment and approval.
Your Property Is at Risk
THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON A MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT. A secured loan uses your property as security. If you fail to keep up with repayments, the lender has the legal right to repossess your home. You should only take out a secured loan if you are confident you can afford the repayments.
Rates and Fees
Interest rates shown on this website are representative and may not be available to all applicants. The rate you are offered will depend on your individual circumstances including the loan amount, term, property value, equity, income, and credit profile. Lenders may charge arrangement fees, valuation fees, or other charges. All fees will be disclosed to you in writing before you commit to a loan. Our broker fee: Charles Frank Finance Limited charges a broker fee for arranging your secured loan. For loans of £25,000 and above, our fee is a fixed £2,495. For loans below £25,000 (minimum £5,000), the fee is up to a maximum of 10% of the net loan amount. The broker fee is payable on completion only — there are no upfront fees, application fees, or charges if your loan does not complete. The fee can be added to the loan or paid separately. You will receive full written disclosure of all fees before committing to a loan. Some cases may require a property valuation. Where a valuation fee is payable, this is paid directly to the surveyor and is non-refundable regardless of the loan outcome. Your adviser will inform you in advance if a valuation fee is likely to apply.
Credit Checks
Using our calculators and obtaining an initial quote does not affect your credit score. If you proceed with a full application, the lender will conduct a hard credit search which will be visible on your credit file.
