What is Home Equity Loans?
Home equity loans are really straightforward. They provide you with a mortgage based on the value of the property you own. They are often the easiest kinds of loans to qualify for. However, if you have very a poor credit history, you may find mainstream lenders are reluctant to lend to you, out of fear that you won’t be able to service your debt.
The point of a home equity loan is that your home is offered as collateral to the lenders, which gives lenders a mechanism for managing their risk. Home equity loans tend to require significant documentation, and most mainstream lenders set strict minimum requirements that make gaining access to credit difficult, even if your home has increased in value since you initially purchased it. Lenders do this in order to safeguard themselves against a customer’s inability to pay back debt.
A home equity loan will usually involve the borrower being given a sizeable cash lump sum upfront. This can be used for any number of things; to renovate a property, install a new roof if it's beyond repairable, start a business, or finance a personal project, for instance. It’s important to remember that, however much you need a new mortgage, you should only ever borrow what you need. This will protect you against foreclosure.
Here at Rala, we are experts at identifying and securing home equity loan opportunities for people struggling in the mortgage market. Talk to one of our staff members about a home equity loan today.

Frequently
Asked Questions
It can be very difficult to find a mortgage with a poor credit history. The reason for this is that the majority of mainstream lenders make little effort to understand an applicant’s unique circumstances, so they will deny a mortgage application based on credit scores alone.
At Rala, we make a concerted effort to understand the specific circumstances of each applicant, which allows us to set our customers up with lenders who are likely to be much more open to authorising a loan request. The result is that our clients not only secure access to finance but benefit from the professional advice we can provide regarding their financial situation.
A poor credit rating doesn’t stop you from getting a mortgage. Mainstream banks won’t grant you a mortgage because they believe your risk level is too high.
But here at Rala, we have built up a big network of lenders who will facilitate a loan for you regardless of your credit history. Your credit rating will affect the size of your downpayment, as well as the interest you pay to the lender. Contact us now if you have a bad credit rating but are looking of a loan.
It’s not just that you can still get a mortgage deal with a bad credit rating, you can still get a good mortgage deal with a bad credit rating. It’s true that a bad credit score will hike your risk factor and can affect your mortgage rates.
But here at Rala, we have developed such a wide network of lenders as a result of our many years in the industry, that we'll quickly find the right lender for your case. The key to our success is assessing a whole variety of factors before finding our clients the best mortgage deal.
Rala has a total commitment to transparency and honesty. We will provide straightforward, simple solutions to our customers, designed to provide you with a clear remedy to your problem.
We only charge based on the risks associated with the loan agreement and based on the loan deal. We won’t hit you with hidden finder's fees.
A mortgage broker acts as the go-between for a lender and a borrower, meaning they facilitate agreements between you and your bank or mortgage lender. They also do the legwork of searching for the best mortgage product and interest rate for you. The lender provides the funding for your loan.
According to one study, 39 per cent of first-time home buyers don’t understand what brokers do. However, there are good reasons to contact a broker before you attempt to buy a house.
Mortgage brokers simplify the home buying process and help ensure that you don’t spend large amounts of money for no good reason. Mortgage brokers will help you get lower interest rates, improve your access to loans, give you the benefit of their experience, and always work on your side.
