My credit history is stopping me from finding a Loan or Remortgage. Can you help?
We like to think we can! We can often find a secured loan or remortgage when others have said no. We treat you as an individual and don't just look at your credit rating.If you have late payments, defaults, arrears or CCJ's we will work hard to find you the funds to consolidate your debts and make a fresh start.

How much can I borrow and over how long?
This will depend on your available income and the equity in your property. Our Loans range from £3,000 to £100,000 and our Mortgages from £5,000 to £1,000,000.
When you replace your mortgage you may wish to borrow more than the amount required to pay off your current lender. This is very common and at Greenhill we aim to be as flexible as possible towards your requirements. The extra money can be used for home improvements, debt consolidation or even that dream holiday!
Repayment terms are entirely up to you, Loans are typically between 3 and 25 years and Mortgages from 5 to 30 years. We will find the most suitable timescale to suit your situation.
