Secured Loans
Options
I own a property, mortgage free, that I rent out. I want to continue to rent it out but I would like to raise around £50000 for personal use. The property is worth around £195,000. I'm retired but not drawing my pension yet and I own outright the house I live in.
Any ideas ? Secured loans ? Take a mortgage ? Santander, offered me one of their 4.5 % guaranteed loans at 13.3 % !!!!! Probably because I don't own anything to anyone and pay my credit card in full every month.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It won't be because you pay your card in full every month.

How are you intending to repay the money and over what time scale?0

I intend to repay using the rent I already receive.
I would like to have to repay the loan over 10 years or possibly take a smaller loan of say £25000 to repay in 5.0 -
How about getting a BTL mortgage on the property you currently rent out? You could potentially release up to 75% of the equity in the property and I think the rent would have to be 125% of the mortgage repayments.0
