Used responsibly, a HELOC can provide valuable benefits. However, as it is a second charge mortgage (also known as a secured loan), consider how it might affect your ability to secure additional borrowing in the future. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.

Use a Selina HELOC to secure your next buy-to-let

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a flexible, secured loan that lets you borrow against the equity in your main residence without changing your existing mortgage. For buy-to-let investors, it provides a fast and affordable alternative to bridging or auction finance. Whether you’re bidding at auction, funding a deposit, or securing a below-market-value property, a HELOC allows you to act as a cash buyer and move quickly when opportunities arise.

You receive a credit limit and can draw funds as needed, repay, and reuse the available balance for up to five years. You only pay interest on what you use, and monthly repayments are required on the drawn balance. There are no ongoing fees, no need to remortgage, and no early repayment charges.

The facility stays open for up to five years, giving you the flexibility to repay and redraw as new investment opportunities come along. Once you’re ready, you can refinance with a buy-to-let mortgage on your own timeline.

Why rely on rigid auction finance?

Traditional auction or bridging finance can be expensive, inflexible, and stressful. A HELOC gives you a more affordable, reusable credit line with no ongoing fees or early repayment charges.

Refinance when you’re ready

There’s no rush. Keep the facility open for up to five years, repay on your terms, and refinance when it makes the most sense for your investment.

Customers are using the HELOC to fund buy-to-lets

Whether it’s securing a buy-to-let, renovating a first investment, or building long-term financial freedom, Selina customers are using their HELOCs to take the next step with confidence and control. Here’s what they’re saying.

“We needed to move fast at auction without the stress”

Speed is critical when buying at auction. This investor used their HELOC to access funds quickly and act like a cash buyer without resorting to costly bridging finance.

We had our eye on a two-bed flat at auction and knew it wouldn’t stick around. Traditional finance would’ve taken too long. With the HELOC, we drew the funds in days and secured the property. No delays, no drama.”
Alex, property investor, Birmingham

“We didn’t want to remortgage just to buy our first rental”

Getting into buy-to-let doesn’t have to mean refinancing your main home. This couple used their HELOC to fund their first investment without disrupting their existing mortgage.

A photograph of a man and a woman
We’d been thinking about getting into buy-to-let for years but didn’t want to remortgage our home. Using the HELOC meant we could move ahead without touching our main mortgage or savings.”
Danielle and Chris, first time landlords, Essex

“We needed flexible funds for deposits and renovations”

This small developer uses their HELOC to bridge the gap between purchases and long-term finance, keeping projects moving without delays.

We’ve used the HELOC for multiple projects now. Deposit here, refurb there, then refinance with a BTL mortgage. The flexibility is what makes it work for us.”
Marcus, small developer, Manchester

“We were done with rigid and expensive bridging loans”

After dealing with high fees and inflexible terms, this investor chose a HELOC as a simpler, more affordable alternative to bridging finance.

A photograph of a woman
We used to rely on bridging, but the rates and conditions were tough. The HELOC gives us breathing room, and we only pay interest on what we draw. It’s made our process smoother and more cost-effective.”
Priya, auction buyer, London

“We wanted a low-pressure way to start investing”

This family used their HELOC to diversify into property at their own pace, without needing to liquidate savings or commit to fixed borrowing.

We’re not full-time investors. We just wanted to use our equity to make our money work a bit harder. The HELOC gave us the flexibility to get started without locking ourselves into something inflexible.”
Sam and Rina, family investors, Surrey
