Homeowner Loans

Calculate your monthly repayments using our Secured Loan Calculator.
 
A homeowner loan is another term for a secured loan, which is a charge on your property after your mortgage. Lenders normally offer loans up to £100,000 but as the interest rate will normally be higher than your mortgage, borrowers should consider whether you should remortgage instead. Homeowners loans normally start from £7,500.
 
Homeowner loans can be for any purpose, such as a house extension, a new kitchen or a car. As homeowner loans are secured on your property like your mortgage, they are most suitable for home improvements or refinancing expensive unsecured debt - this is known as debt consolidation.

 
A borrower who may have a poor credit rating, perhaps with mortgage arrears, CCJ's or defaults can still apply for a secured loans quote, and expect a competitive APR rate. The reason for this is that although you may have bad credit rating, lenders still have faith in you the borrower, because you are offering your asset as the security against the money they are lending.

To be able to apply for secured loans, you need to own your own home. Secondly you need to have spare equity within your home to be able to secure the loan against it. A secured loan is a low risk for the lender so you will be able to pay lower rates of interest. It is really important then to shop around to find the cheapest secured loan. You should not go for the first cheap secured loan you see. APR rates will vary dramatically and therefore with a little research you could obtain a really good deal with a low rate of interest and no hidden extras.

Consider the source of your cheap secured loan. The online market place is an ideal place to shop for good deals and competitive rates of interest. However, don't rule out the larger high street lenders as they tailor their products to compete with internet competition for sales.

Bad credit homeowner loans? If you have a poor credit history but you are a homeowner, don't despair. The fact that you own your home means you may be able to apply for adverse credit secured loans. As it is a high risk for the lender they will charge you higher interest rates. However, there are specialist companies who specialise in loans for people who have no option but to take out adverse credit secured loans. See our homeowner loans interest rates.

Beware of adverse credit secured loans that seem too good to be true, as they might be just that. You will want to find a homeowner loan with the lowest rate of interest that stays cheap for the life of the repayments.

Don't forget that research is the key to finding the best adverse credit secured loans for you. There are plenty of secured loans lenders out there so consider all sources, including online which offers great rates due to the nature of the competitiveness of the market.

If you are going for a large secured loan, why not take out payment protection? If you get into problems with your repayments the payment protection plan will cover them.

With the development of the internet, now loan applications can be with a secured loan lender within 30 minutes, giving a much faster time for you to get a decision.
