Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is a secured loan?

A secured loan is a type of borrowing that’s backed by an asset – usually your home. Because the loan is secured, lenders may offer lower interest rates and higher borrowing amounts compared to unsecured loans.

Who are Habitat Loans?

Habitat Loans is a UK-based secured loan broker. We search a panel of trusted lenders to help match you with a suitable loan for your circumstances. The service is operated by PJG Financial Ltd, an FCA-authorised company.

Will applying affect my credit score?

No, when you apply with Habitat Loans, we only carry out a soft credit check to match you with lenders. This won’t affect your credit score or be visible to other lenders.

How much can I borrow with a secured loan?

Loan amounts typically range from £5,000 to £500,000, depending on your home equity, income, and credit history. We’ll help you find the most suitable option based on your circumstances.

How quickly can I get the money?

Once approved, it usually takes between 1 to 3 weeks for funds to be released. Timelines can vary depending on the lender and whether legal or valuation work is required.

What can I use a secured loan for?

You can use the funds for almost any legal purpose – home improvements, consolidating debts, major purchases, or helping with life events such as weddings or education.

Are there any fees for using Habitat Loans?

Habitat Loans does not charge you a fee. However, the lender or broker we introduce you to may charge a fee, which will be clearly disclosed in the loan documentation before you proceed.
