Selina Finance has doubled the maximum loan size available for both its Homeowner Loan and Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) products.
The maximum loan size on offer has increased from £250,000 to £500,000 for those applying for Selina’s Status 0 products, up to 75% loan to value (LTV).
In addition, Selina has fully rolled out its pre-consent funding to all eligible loans. The policy, which was soft-launched last year on selected cases in an industry-first move, allows loans of up to £100,000 to be funded prior to written consent for the loan being provided by the first-charge mortgage lender.
To be eligible, borrowers will need to have a first-charge mortgage with one of the following lenders: Halifax, NatWest, Santander, Nationwide, Skipton Building Society, Barclays, Coventry Building Society, Leeds Building Society, HSBC, Birmingham Midshires, Clydesdale, Accord Mortgages, Lloyds Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Yorkshire Building Society, Bank of Scotland, TSB and Virgin Money.
Stacey Woods, head of intermediary sales at Selina Finance, said: “We want to ensure that our Homeowner Loans and HELOCs deliver for greater numbers of borrowers, and these criteria changes will do just that. By doubling the maximum loan size, homeowners will be able to unlock more of the equity they have built up in their properties, while our pre-consent funding proposition means that funds can be delivered much more quickly, providing borrowers with the certainty they need.
“Selina Finance has become known for our innovative approach to lending, and we will continue to pinpoint ways in which we can adapt our products and criteria to work for brokers and their clients.”
