Secured Loans Advice

There are lots of different reasons why you might want to take out a secured loan: to help finance a new car; fund home improvements, or maybe pay for a much needed holiday? Or perhaps you need help clearing debts you owe other creditors?

What are Secured Loans?

A secured loan is an arrangement where a lender - such as a bank or building society - agrees to lend you a sum for a fixed period of time. The loan is called secure because your assets - eg your car, house or personal valuables - act as a guarantee that you will pay back the loan. This condition gives assurance to your creditor that if you are unable to meet your monthly repayments, they still have a way of recovering the debt.

How do I repay a secured loan?

All loans require that you make monthly repayments, so before you consider getting a secured loan you should look at your monthly outgoings and check you will have enough in your budget to cover the monthly repayment.

This kind of agreement should not be rushed into, as you are in danger of losing your assets if you default on your loan repayments.

Do I qualify for a secured loan?

Because you are offering your assets as security, your chances of being approved for a secured loan are much higher than people applying for an unsecured loan. The interest rates for secured loans tend to be lower, and you are less likely to face court action if you cannot meet your repayments.
