What is a Secured Loan? 

A secured loan is otherwise known as a homeowner loan. This type of loan requires that the borrower provide some form of security to the lender. This usually means that the borrower's property will be secured against the debt, so that the lender has some form of security when lending the money.

A Secured loan can only be lent to those who already have a home and a mortgage. For those who do not have a property to use as security, then the only loan option is a personal or unsecured loan. 

Why Would I Want a Secured Loan? 

As the loan is secured against your home, it offers the borrower some distinct advantages. This includes being able to borrow the money over a longer period of time and also at a lower interest rate than an unsecured loan. 

It is always important that you make sure you can afford the repayments on a secured loan. If you are struggling with debt and think that you might not be able to afford the repayments, you should never get a secured loan as you risk losing your home. Refused A Loan do offer alternatives such as a debt management plan or IVA.

THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE. IF YOU ARE THINKING OF CONSOLIDATING EXISTING BORROWING YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT YOU MAY BE EXTENDING THE TERM OF DEBT AND INCREASING THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU REPAY.

For mortgages and re-mortgages the overall cost for comparison is 8.5% APR variable and for secured loans 14.5% APR variable. The actual rate will depend upon your circumstances.
