To help you get to grips with secured loans, the following five case studies will help you to decide where and when a secured loan would be practicable than other types of finance. Click on a topic to learn more about it.
Case Study 1 - Adverse Credit
Your customer wishes to re-mortgage to raise extra cash for home improvements, but has an adverse credit rating.
They are looking to borrow £20,000 but an unsecured loan is not an option due to the adverse credit against them. The customer has a first mortgage at high street rates with a major high street building society, but has picked up a couple of CCJ’s since taking out his mortgage. He has 20 years to go on the mortgage.
The property is valued at £200,000
With a mortgage outstanding £100,000
Their existing mortgage payment is £555.83 @ 4.5%
If they re-mortgage to an adverse lender the total new monthly repayment would be £1,158.03 @ 10%
| The client would then have to pay; |
 |
Broker Fee |
£500 - £1,000 |
 |
Valuation Fee |
£300 |
 |
Solicitor Fee |
£395 |
 |
Arrangement Fee |
£300 |
 |
Total Fees |
£1,495 - £1,995 |
The customer decides that they are not going to re-mortgage because both the fees and the new mortgage repayment are prohibitive!
