Secured Loans for Homeowners

Taking out a secured loan on top of your mortgage can often be a solution to money borrowing problems. You may be looking for a loan to clear your credit cards and personal loans. This is known as debt consolidation. Some people might consider it a "last resort" as they may prefer to exhaust unsecured possibilities such as credit cards and personal loans first. However, there are occasions when a secured finance loan on your home or other property e.g. Buy To Let property can be the most effective solution to your funding requirements.

A secured finance homeowner loan may be (in the short term) an option in the following examples:

You could keep your current mortgage on it's current interest rate, borrow the extra money you need with a secured finance loan and, when the time comes (your lender's SVR looks like rising or your tie-in period ends), remortgage both your main mortgage and second charge loan back into one first charge mortgage.

Debt Consolidation Loans

The Credit Crunch and subsequent recession have made managing the cost of living a bit harder for people from all walks of life. Incomes have reduced or even vanished for many, while costs of goods and services have gone up.

With a debt consolidation loan you can consolidate your existing debts into one single loan payment. These debts could be credit cards, store cards, unsecured personal loans, bank account overdrafts and more.

A secured homeowner debt consolidation loan can be of great benefit:

However, you should be aware that securing previously unsecured debt against your home can carry risks. If you fail to keep up repayments your home can be repossessed plus if you are extending the term of the borrowing this can increase the total amount you repay.

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