What is a secured loan and homeowner loan?

A homeowner loan or secured loan (also known as a second mortgage or second charge) is a loan secured against your existing home or property (just as a normal mortgage) – the loan is made in addition to the mortgage loan which you may already have on your home. Your mortgage is known as the “first charge” and the homeowner loan or secured loan is known as a “second charge”. This type of loan is different to a personal loan as the homeowner loan or secured loan provider will take a “legal charge” over your home or property – this will provide them with security for the loan they make to you.

Why take a secured loan or homeowner loan?

here are situations where a secured loan or homeowner loan may be considered more suitable than you raising funds by remortgaging your property or taking a further advance with your existing mortgage lender. For example, if one or more of the following circumstances apply, a homeowner loan or secured loan may suit your needs:

  • You are subject to high early redemption charges on your existing mortgage
  • You have an attractive rate on your current mortgage and you do not want to sacrifice this in obtaining your additional funds
  • You may have acquired some adverse information against your credit file since taking out your existing mortgage and we are unable to remortgage you onto a new deal
  • You may want to keep your existing mortgage separate to your new borrowing as it’s for a specific amount you want to keep track of individually as it reduces
  • You may want to pay off your new loan sooner than your main mortgage
  • You may want to borrow the funds as soon as possible – there are occasions where a secured loan has proven a speedier way to obtain additional funds
  • Your income circumstances may have changed since you took your current mortgage which means your income is no longer acceptable to a “first” mortgage provider
  • The sum of money you require is unavailable via a first mortgage due to stricter affordability constraints
  • The homeowner loan or secured loan is required for business purposes which is unacceptable to your mortgage provider for additional borrowing.

One of the above reasons may be the situation you find yourself in or there maybe another good reason for taking a secured loan or homeowner loan.
