      <title>The Basics of Mortgage Interest Rates</title>
      <link>https://www.willowprivatefinance.co.uk/blog/the-basics-of-mortgage-interest-rates</link>
      <description>An interest rate is a percentage charge on top of the loan amount you owe a lender. Mortgage rates are virtually identical. They refer to a portion of the loan amount, otherwise known as capital or principal. The mortgage rate on varying products will depend on with whom you pursue your mortgage funding. On the other hand, how it works remains the same.</description>

      <title>Why Buy-to-Let Mortgages Get Declined</title>
      <link>https://www.willowprivatefinance.co.uk/blog/why-buy-to-let-mortgages-get-declined</link>
      <description>Unlike commercial or residential mortgage lenders, buy-to-let providers are tough ones to crack. Some landlords are turning to refinance options to avoid defaulting into costlier SVRs due to the steady climb of buy-to-let interest rates. However, not every application gets approved. If you’re worried about your eligibility, there are little-known reasons lenders decline buy-to-let remortgages beyond poor credit, a change of circumstances, or the conditions of your property—let’s take a look at a few.</description>

      <title>Short-Term Loans - The U.K.’s Bridging Finance Options</title>
      <link>https://www.willowprivatefinance.co.uk/blog/short-term-loans-the-u-k-s-bridging-finance-options</link>
      <description>As its title suggests, a bridging loan “bridges financial gaps,” over a short timeline—anywhere between a mere 24 hours or three full years. Suitable for homeowners that are part of a sales chain or property investors acquiring new investment opportunities, bridging loans are instantly gratifying. 

Once dominated by high-street banks, the U.K. market has become more risk-averse towards mortgage funding that offers large sums of money. Meant for high-end and luxury sales, bridging finance is not as popular as it once was—but they haven’t entirely left the market.</description>
