The application process is a lot longer with personal secured loans than with unsecured loans, due to fact that your loan provider will need to value your home.
The primary advantages of a personal secured loan are that:
They offer lower interest rates. Because loan is secured and lender is guaranteed to recover their money in almost any circumstance APR (the interest rate) tends to be less than with an unsecured loan.
The circumstances in which one is able to secure a loan on property are more dependent upon equity in property rather than past credit history and hence individuals with adverse credit histories (such as County Court Judgements and credit card defaults) are not excluded from secured lending.
A personal secured loan represents an efficient debt management tool because it is possible to spread payments to a term of up to 25 years, it is therefore possible to consolidate any existing borrowing and reduce monthly outgoings to such an extent that considerable extra income is made available to household budget.
The majority of personal secured loans can be arranged without fees therefore personal secured loan often represents a cheaper lending option than a remortgage due to fees usually associated with remortgage product.
They are easier to be approved for. In a typical personal secured loan, home is used as collateral against loan, meaning that should you be unable to maintain loan repayments, your home will be at risk.
