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.

Apart from the secured car loan, another version of secured loans are the ones secured on the available equity in commercial properties of all kinds such as restaurants, public houses, factory units and so on.These commercial secured loans are secured on the real estate value of the actual building etc. and the profit produced by the company is not relevant as regards the security.

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.

Interest rates for secured loans granted to people whose credit files are clean start nowadays at 8% which is a most attractive rate. Bad credit loans are still available to people with less than stellar credit ratings but they are naturally more expensive.

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

If you are thinking of carrying out home improvements, funding the construction of your new home extension, ensuite shower room, new patio, conservatory,new kitchen, etc. can all be paid for by taking out a secured loan. Funding your homeimprovements in this way gives you cash in hand to negotiate a good deal both for any building materials you need and to pay the tradesmen to carry out the work.

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.

If you want the secured loan broker can take all the work of arranging the secured loan out of your hands.

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. - 29971
