The Reason That Remortgages And Secured Loans Are The Best Choice For Homeowners.
Two types of home loans are secured loans and remortgages and tenants cannot apply for these products as they both require some form of security which in this instance is the bricks and mortar value of a property. This makes remortgages and secured loans only available to homeowners.
When a home loan is secured it means that the interest rate attached to the secured loan or remortgage is usually lower than the unsecured loan interest rate. This is a result of the lender being in a much stronger position as regards the borrower meeting his repayments.
Unsecured loans in general have much higher rates of interest than those attached to secured loans and remortgages. If a remortgage or secured loan borrower defaults badly in payments, and does not cooperate the lender as regards coming to an arrangement regarding repaying the secured loan or remortgage, the lender can repossess the property. With an unsecured loan this is naturally not a possibility, and if the borrower is a tenant the only thing that the lender can do is take out a default or a CCJ against the defaulting borrower.
