Securing short-term finance against a property

I will soon be looking to secure £15,000 - £50,000 finance against my house (unconfirmed at this stage) however I will definitely be able to pay back the full amount with any interest in less than a week.
Secured loans tend to be for atleast a year (at best) - so is there a short-term secured borrowing alternative offered by mainstream banks to repay just one week later after being issued with the finance?
What are my options?
Thanks in advance

it depends on the purpose of the loan

Why not get an unsecured loan and pay back early/?Sealed pot challange no: 3390

Bridging loans are usually very short term but not sure of the conditions involved. Why can't you just wait the week? Or is this a "sure thing" investments where you will treble your money in a week....DMP Mutual Support Thread member 244

A bank's specialist lending unit might offer a loan/overdraft in this situation but it will not be cheap and they will want security.
If less than £25k is required then apply for an unsecured personal loan and repay as soon as you can (with normally 2 months interest penalty).0 -
Thanks people its for an investment where I could get the money back within a week - I mean if I took out a normal secured loan (lets say 3 years) could I literally pay the money back a week after the start of the loan? I read somewhere that the early repayment penalty can only be 1 months interest (due to FSA rules) so this would save me a lot of fees unless I am missing something...?

Investments for a week tend to end up as losses and/or scams.0 -
your difficulty is that no mainstream lender will lend to you for a get rich quick scheme, secured or not.
If it is such a sure thing, why is the business person letting other people cash in on their work/ knowledge? These things seldom add up.
If you want to borrow 15k you would need an income of at least £30k and no other debt at all. You would also need to lie about the loan purpose.Debt free 4th April 2007.

There is no investment which will give you a return in a week.
It's called a bet or lottery!
