Secured Loans And All Their Benefits.

By Liz Moir


There are all different types of secured loans and whether we are thinking about a car loan which uses the car itself as security, they all have one thing in common, and that is they must be secured against an asset.

If you own a business and actually own the business premises out of which the firm operates you can take out a commercial secured loan which is secured against the equity in your business premises, and this can be all different types of commercial properties such as a restaurant, a cafe, a hotel, a care home, etc. It is the actual property value that is taken as security and not the profits the firm produces.

It is possible to have for example an English pub in a grotty run down part of town that is frequented by lower class heavy drinking working men. The actual bricks and mortar value could be as little as 50,000 or so. The building may not be worth much, but due to the high turnover that creates a healthy profit, the income generated could be far in excess of 50,000, and could for example be as much as 150,000. It is only the 50,000 value of the actual building itself that can provide security for a secured loan.

Secured loans which are known as homeowner loans are obviously only available to homeowners. They can be used for almost any purpose which makes them a great way for homeowners to borrow.

They have a very attractive interest rate starting at the moment at just over 8% APR for homeowners with a good credit rating. Even for those with far from perfect credit ratings bad credit secured loans are still available, but the interest rate is higher.

Secured loans can be used for almost any purpose such as to buy a car, caravan, boat, motor home or motorbike, etc.

If a homeowner is considering carrying out home improvements of any kind whether it is a kitchen,a conservatory, a porch or a patio using a secured loan for this purpose provides you with available money to pay cash to get the best deal. Nothing makes a tradesman lower his charges more quickly than the mention of cash in hand.

Secured loans have very flexible repayment periods of 5 to 25 years, and as such almost any homeowner can afford them. Secured loans can be paid off early and the only charge early repayment incurs is one month's interest which is rather different from the heavy charges that you must pay if clearing off a remortgage early.

Everything considered it is no wonder that the secured homeowner loan is the choice of so many people.

The best way to arrange your secured loan is via a secured loan broker and you can find their websites on the internet. They can give you all the information you could ever need about the secured loan, and give you a monthly repayment figure.

You need to type in the appropriate keywords to find the secured loan brokers websites. These are keywords like secured loans, homeowner loans or secured loan broker.You can fill an application in online or phone. Everything can be completed by phone and mail or if face to face contact with the secured loan broker is your preference he will visit you at home.

They can do absolutely everything for you from start to finish from the filling in of your application for you to check and sign.

After being provided a copy of your credit agreement you have eight days to think about it before being sent an agreement to sign.You must have a witness which cannot be a relative, and to keep everything private the secured loan broker can witness your signature.
