Secured Loans
What is a secured loan
A secured loan is the opposite of an unsecured loan where the loan is set up against an asset, usually your home or car as a form of security.
How much can I borrow?
This is often a popular choice with those wanting to borrow larger amounts and benefit from lower monthly repayments compared to unsecured
loans. Anything from £3,000 to £60,000 can be borrowed, and more in some cases.
The warnings of secured loans
Interest rates are
often more competitive on secured loans though
borrowers need to think carefully with regards to whether they can keep
up with the additional monthly repayments. Penalties for not doing so are
huge, as the warnings are marked loud and clear "Your home is at risk if
you do not keep up with repayments on a mortgage or
other loan secured on it".
Borrowers can enjoy increasing the terms in which the loan is
to be paid back, therefore making it easier on a monthly basis. So those
considering taking out this type of loan should certainly not do so light
heartedly.
As with other types of loans, interest rates, special deals, and other conditions
vary so it makes sense to shop around.
One thing to note is the possible additional term of mortgages may increase by
taking out a secured loan, as many prefer reducing monthly repayments this
will effect the term of the loan.
Borrow with caution if you have a tight
monthly budget, as the loan is often variable which means that the repayments
can fluctuate form month to month making budgeting difficult.
If you have a poor credit rating and are a homeowner, a secured
loan may
be a good option for you to raise cash as lenders can
secure the loan against your home. This type of loan is
generally easier to get as the borrower has mean of security in case you
are unable to fulfil the payments.
