In the past few years a booming housing market has meant many homeowners across the UK have benefited from the increasing equity in their homes.
This equity has given homeowners greater financial leverage, allowing many of them to use this to obtain additional affordable credit, notably secured loans.
Eligibility and the amount that can be borrowed with secured loans will depend on a number of factors. They include:
The level of equity in your home
Your income and outgoings
Your credit rating
Your employment status
Length of time living at the same address
Length of time with the same bank account
Although secured loans can be an excellent means of obtaining a large amount of finance, it’s important to note that they are not without their disadvantages. These, along with their advantages have been outlined below.
