Debt Consolidation Loans

Debt consolidation loans put you back in control

By consolidating some or all of your debts into one loan you will know what interest rate you are paying and when the payment is due. And when your loan will be paid off. If you are a homeowner, a secured loan may be a sensible borrowing option as you can normally borrow larger sums over longer periods.

Apply for a secured loan for any purpose. But remember that you are placing your home at risk.

Arrow Loans offers regulated secured loans for debt consolidation. Our Second Charge Mortgages are flexible and you are guaranteed to be treated fairly. If you have a less than perfect credit history we can still help.

We’ve put together some frequently asked questions, to help you make an informed decision before choosing to take out a loan.

What are secured debt consolidation loans?

A secured debt consolidation loan is a second charge mortgage. It uses collateral, such as your home, as security for the repayments. If repayments are defaulted on, as the borrower, you could lose your home. Secured loans are also referred to as ‘homeowner loans’ or ‘second charge mortgages’, as this type of loan ranks after your mortgage for security. Debt consolidation loans are regulated agreements by the Financial Conduct Authority.

How do secured loans differ from unsecured loans?

Secured loans are loans that are backed by an asset. Your property is collateral for the loan. If you fail to maintain your monthly payments, your home may be at risk.Therefore lenders will often accept an application for a secured loan where they would decline an application for a personal loan. Unsecured loans do not place your home at risk.

How do I apply for a debt consolidation loan?

We are dedicated to being open and honest about the procedure for getting a secured loan through us. Therefore we have put together a guide which outlines our loan application process to help you understand every aspect.

How much can I borrow?

Secured loans for homeowners through Arrow Loans are available for people who are looking to borrow from £10,000 up to £250,000.

How long is the repayment term?

The amount borrowed can be customised to whatever suits you best. Arrow Loans offers secured loan repayments up to 180 months (15 years), which means the loan can be repaid over a term whereby you find the monthly repayment amount affordable.

Is there a lower interest rate with a secured loan?

Secured loan interest rates are usually comparably lower than those of an unsecured loan. This is because secured loans can be taken out over a longer period of time. The amount of borrowing and the term length influences the interest rate.

Are there any fees to pay?

We are committed to telling our customers about our fees. There are NO fees or costs payable before the loan is issued. When your loan is issued there will normally be an arrangement fee of up to £495 added to your loan amount. This fee will vary as it is intended to cover our costs, such as legal and valuation, on a case by case basis. The amount you repay is clearly stated on your loan quote.

Can a debt consolidation loan be paid off early?

Yes! Our loans are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority so you can settle early, overpay and make lump sum payments. This can reduce the amount of interest paid on the loan, ultimately saving you money

Our representative rate for homeowner loans is 11.3% APRC variable – at least 51% of successful applicants receive this rate
