The Secured Loan market (also known as the second charge market) has seen huge growth in recent years. The lenders entering the marketplace are not high street banks, rather they are private lenders. The vast majority of these niche lenders will only accept applications via brokers. 

The key to accessing a Secured Loan is demonstrating affordability. If you can prove that you are able to meet repayments, your chances of approval are high.

After affordability is proven, equity and credit will be considered. If you have poor credit but lots of equity in your property, loans should be relatively accessible. Similarly, if you have low equity but good credit, there are also options available.
