Secured loan v Unsecured loan
17 July 2008
In an ideal world everyone would own there own home, but as we all know this world is far from ideal and not everyone can afford to pay a mortgage and all the other fees which are associated with having a mortgage. If you find yourself in the position of being able to afford a mortgage then you would also probably qualify for a secured loan which would be secured against the house you are buying.
Secured loans are just that, a loan which uses your home as the security, the amount of the loan would depend on a number of factors, the main one being the value of the property which the loan is secured against, and usually varies from around £5000 upwards. Unsecured loans are quite different from secured loans in that the are approved without the need for securities such as your home, although the lender is taking more of a risk by approving the loan means the interest you pay on your unsecured loan will be inevitably higher than that of a secured loan, you would also not be able to borrow as much money with an unsecured loan due to the risks involved by the lender.
