About Our Services

Business & House Loan provides financial intermediary and direct lending services, including but not limited to:

  • Residential mortgages and house purchase loans
  • Remortgage and refinancing products
  • Buy-to-let and property investment loans
  • First-time buyer mortgage assistance and guidance
  • Business finance including working capital, equipment finance, and start-up loans
  • Business expansion and acquisition funding
  • Loan eligibility assessments and credit brokerage
  • Financial planning consultation and rate comparison services

We act both as a direct lender and as a credit broker, introducing clients to our panel of approved lending partners. Where we act as a broker, we may receive a commission or fee from the lender. This will always be disclosed to you before your application is submitted.

Important: Our services are subject to availability and eligibility criteria. Approval of any loan or financial product is not guaranteed and is at the sole discretion of the lender.
3
Eligibility

To be eligible to apply for any of our products or services, you must meet all of the following criteria at the time of application:

  • Be at least 18 years of age (or 21 years for certain business finance products)
  • Be a UK resident with a valid UK residential address
  • Have the legal right to work and reside in the United Kingdom
  • Hold a valid UK bank account in your own name
  • Not be subject to any current or pending bankruptcy order or Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA)
  • Meet the minimum income requirements for the specific product applied for
  • For business loans: your business must be registered and trading in the United Kingdom

We reserve the right to refuse any application at our absolute discretion, including where we reasonably suspect fraudulent or misleading information has been provided.

Warning: Providing false, misleading, or incomplete information in connection with your application is a serious criminal offence under the Fraud Act 2006 and may result in prosecution, immediate termination of your account, and referral to relevant authorities.
4
Account Registration & Security

Certain features of our platform require you to create an account. When registering, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information at the time of registration
  • Maintain and promptly update your account information to keep it accurate and complete
  • Keep your login credentials, password, and security details strictly confidential
  • Notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account
  • Accept full responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
  • Not share your account credentials with any third party

We employ industry-standard security measures including 256-bit SSL encryption, two-factor authentication, and continuous fraud monitoring. However, no system is entirely infallible, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your account or data transmitted to us.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account that we reasonably suspect has been compromised, used fraudulently, or is in breach of these Terms.

5
Loan Applications & Credit Assessments

By submitting a loan application through our platform, you explicitly authorise us and our lending partners to:

  • Conduct soft and/or hard credit searches with one or more UK credit reference agencies (including Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion)
  • Verify your identity using electronic identity verification systems
  • Verify your income through bank statement analysis, payslip review, or open banking connections
  • Assess your affordability using responsible lending criteria
  • Share your application data with relevant lending partners on our approved panel
  • Retain your application data for the period set out in our Privacy Policy
Credit Search Notice: An initial eligibility check uses a soft search that does not affect your credit score. A full application will result in a hard search which will be visible on your credit file.

Loan offers are subject to full underwriting and final approval. Any indicative rates or amounts shown in our calculator are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a binding offer of credit.

6
Interest Rates, Fees & Charges

All interest rates, fees, and charges applicable to your loan will be clearly disclosed in your personalised loan offer document before you accept. Key pricing principles include:

  • Interest rates are expressed as an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) and include all mandatory charges
  • Arrangement fees, if applicable, are disclosed upfront and may be added to the loan or paid separately
  • Early repayment charges (ERCs) apply only to certain fixed-rate products and are stated in your offer document
  • Late payment fees of £25 may apply if a repayment is missed — we will always contact you first
  • No hidden fees: all charges are disclosed in the Key Facts Illustration (KFI) and European Standardised Information Sheet (ESIS)

Rates are subject to change prior to acceptance of a formal loan offer. Your rate is locked in only upon written acceptance of the final loan agreement.

7
Repayment Obligations

Once a loan agreement has been executed, you are legally obligated to repay the loan in accordance with the agreed repayment schedule. Your obligations include:

  • Making repayments in full and on time as set out in your loan agreement
  • Maintaining the direct debit or standing order instruction for the duration of the loan
  • Notifying us immediately if you anticipate difficulty making a repayment
  • Not entering into other credit agreements that would materially affect your ability to repay
Your home or property may be at risk. For secured loans and mortgages, failure to keep up with repayments may result in your home being repossessed. Business assets used as collateral may also be at risk. Please ensure you can comfortably afford repayments before entering into any loan agreement.

If you experience financial difficulty, please contact us immediately at contact@businessandhouseloan.com or call +52 55 4687 6938. We have a dedicated support team and are committed to working with you to find a solution.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

  • We do not warrant that our website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components
  • We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services

  • We accept no responsibility for third-party websites linked from our platform
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable UK law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 where applicable.

Financial decisions are ultimately your own responsibility. We strongly recommend seeking independent financial advice before entering into any credit agreement.

12
Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. Grounds for us terminating your access include:

  • Breach of any provision of these Terms
  • Provision of false or misleading information
  • Suspected fraudulent activity
  • Failure to make loan repayments without valid reason or prior arrangement
  • Conduct deemed abusive, threatening, or inappropriate towards our staff

Upon termination, your right to use our platform will cease immediately. However, all provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property rights, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability — shall remain in effect.

Termination does not release you from any outstanding loan obligations, which remain legally enforceable.

13
Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including any question regarding their existence, validity, or termination, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Where you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also have rights to bring proceedings in your own jurisdiction under applicable consumer protection legislation.
