A secured loan, often known as a “homeowner loan” or “second charge mortgage”, is a great option for people looking to consolidate debt. It’s also good for other things like home improvements, investments or even aspirational borrowing such as a wedding, a holiday or purchasing a car

How do secure loans work?
Lenders are more inclined to offer larger sums on secured loans because your home serves as collateral, hence the term "homeowner loans." These loans often allow for extended repayment periods, resulting in lower monthly instalments compared to short-term loans, easing monthly expenses. However, it's essential to note that the total loan cost may be higher over time. Additionally, lenders tend to have more flexible credit requirements for these loans due to the security provided by your property. This makes it easier for individuals with bad credit to qualify for a homeowner loan.
Case Study
Last month we reduced a client's monthly expenses by nearly £400 while enabling him to complete much-needed home renovations. Samik needed approximately £30,000 to update his kitchen and bathroom, refresh his interior decor, and consolidate credit card debt. We achieved this through a secured loan, preserving his excellent rate on his first-charge mortgage, fixed until 2027.
In conclusion, secured loans offer a viable financial solution for those needing substantial funds and who have the collateral to back them up. Understanding the workings, advantages, and risks of secured loans can help you make informed decisions and manage your finances effectively.
