Success Stories

Real experiences from our satisfied home equity customers

David & Sarah J.

Kitchen Renovation

"We'd been dreaming of updating our outdated kitchen for years. The home equity loan from Integra Finance made it possible, with manageable monthly payments and a great fixed rate. The process was smooth, and now we have the kitchen we've always wanted—which has also increased our home's value!"

Michael R.

Debt Consolidation

"I was juggling multiple high-interest credit cards and personal loans, with minimum payments eating up my monthly budget. By using a home equity loan to consolidate everything, I cut my monthly payments by nearly £350 and will save over £18,000 in interest over the loan term. The financial breathing room has been life-changing."

Emma L.

HELOC for Education

"We opened a HELOC to help fund our two children's university education. The flexibility to draw only what we needed each term was perfect, and the interest rate was significantly lower than student loans. Integra's team was incredibly helpful in explaining how to maximize the benefits and minimize the costs."

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about home equity loans

What's the difference between a home equity loan and a home equity line of credit?

A home equity loan provides a one-time lump sum with fixed interest rates and predictable monthly payments. A home equity line of credit (HELOC) works more like a credit card, allowing you to borrow only what you need when you need it during the draw period, usually with a variable interest rate.

How much equity can I borrow against?

Most lenders allow you to borrow up to 85% of your home's value minus your outstanding mortgage balance. For example, if your home is worth £300,000 and you owe £150,000 on your mortgage, you could potentially borrow up to £105,000 (85% of £300,000 = £255,000, minus £150,000 = £105,000).

What are the risks of home equity loans?

The primary risk is that your home serves as collateral, meaning if you fail to make payments, you could face foreclosure. Additionally, if your home's value decreases, you could end up owing more than your home is worth. It's important to have a solid repayment plan and avoid using home equity for non-essential expenses.

Are there any tax benefits to home equity loans?

Interest paid on home equity loans may be tax-deductible if the funds are used to buy, build, or substantially improve the home that secures the loan. However, tax laws change frequently, so we recommend consulting with a tax professional for advice specific to your situation.

How long does the application process take?

Our initial decision is typically provided within 48 hours. The entire process from application to funding usually takes 2-4 weeks, depending on property valuation scheduling and verification of your documentation. We pride ourselves on a streamlined process that's faster than many traditional lenders.
