Guide
to Homeowner Loans
By John

Here is a useful guide to Homeowner Loans. A Homeowner
Loan is a loan secured against your home. Homeowner
loans can help you unlock capital tied up in your home.
They offer solutions that many other loans do not offer,
like long repayment terms. Homeowner loans are secured
against your home which will be at risk if you can not
meet your repayments.
Homeowner loans are a popular secured loan where your
home is used as security to the lender for the money
you borrow. In other words, if you don't pay back the
loan, the lender can, in extreme circumstances, sell
your house in order to recoup any losses. Homeowner
loans are also known as second charge loans or second
mortgage loans.
A Homeowner Loan is any loan which requires the borrower
to provide the lender with some form of security, in
the case of our Homeowner Loans the 'security' will
be a mortgage over the borrower's home.
How much you can borrow with a homeowner loan depends
on how much equity is in your house. While the lender
benefits from the peace of mind of knowing that the
loan is secure, there are many benefits to the consumer
of homeowner loans.
Firstly, compared with unsecured loans, homeowner loans
tend to be faster and easier to arrange. As a homeowner,
you can borrow against the value in your home without
spending your equity.
With a homeowner loan, you can keep your current mortgage,
so you don't need to remortgage in order to realise
the value of your equity and homeowner loans usually
have a lower rate of interest than unsecured loans.
Interest rates for homeowner loans will depend on how
much you want to borrow, the repayment period and your
financial circumstances, such as your credit record
including any mortgage arrears and CCJs, proof of income
and employment status.
Homeowner loans can be used for any purpose. You can
use the money to consolidate existing debts, pay off
overdrafts and credit cards or buy yourself a new car,
go on holiday or make home improvements.
One of the benefits of a Homeowner loan is that the
interest rate will be lower than on a comparable Personal
loan. Quite often this type of loan will be more flexible
in terms of repayment period and as the amount you can
borrow is primarily based on the 'available equity'
of your home, this tends to be more flexible also.
A Homeowner Loan is a loan secured on your home - this
provides the lender with some form of security, regardless
of whether it is mortgaged or owned outright.
You can borrow more with loans secured on property,
normally up to £75,000 and the interest rates
are normally lower than with an unsecured loan because
of the lower risk to the lender.
With homeowner loans you can also pay over a longer
period of time, anything between five years and twenty-five
years.
