Flexible home equity lending solutions

About Selina Finance

Selina Finance offers flexible lending solutions for homeowners in the UK, focusing on home equity lending. Their main products include a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), which allows borrowers to access funds against their property equity and only pay interest on the amount used, and a Homeowner Loan, which provides a fixed sum upfront. Unlike other lenders, Selina Finance's HELOC offers unique flexibility in borrowing amounts over the first five years. The company's goal is to help homeowners finance large purchases by leveraging the equity in their homes at competitive interest rates.
