What is a Homeowner Loan?


A Homeowner Loan is a way of using the equity tied up in your property to raise money. Equity is the difference between the value of your home and your outstanding mortgage. Many lenders are willing to convert this equity into cash in the form a secured homeowner loan, which means that the loan is guaranteed by your property.

A homeowner loan is a sum of money that you borrow from a lender. The loan will usually be paid out as a lump sum. In return for this, you agree to make regular repayments and pay interest on the loan. A homeowner loan will ordinarily be secured on your home to provide the lender additional security on the money they have lent you.

A Homeowner Loan is a loan secured on your home - this provides the lender with some form of security, regardless of whether it is mortgaged or owned outright.

A homeowner loan can give you the ability to borrow money based on how much equity you have in your property. Equity is the difference between the value of your property and the amount you have outstanding on your mortgage. This can help you release some of the value in your property to use for major purchases.

You can borrow more with loans secured on property, normally up to £75,000 but potentially up to £100,000, and cheap secured loans interest rates are normally lower than with an unsecured loan because of the lower risk to the lender.

With secured homeowner loans you can also pay over a longer period of time, anything between three years and thirty-five years.

Homeowner loans could be taken out for various reasons. You could want to make home improvements, for which you can borrow money secured on your home, as you are hopefully increasing its value. Perhaps it could be for a debt consolidation loan, where you take out a loan for an amount large enough to pay off several other debts for a longer period.

If you are able to repay your secured loan earlier than agreed, you may be charged a penalty so you should check each lender's individual policy with regards to this.

A homeowner loan is a loan that is specifically assigned for homeowners. This is where the home is used as collateral, which is a larger risk for a customer than an unsecured loan, because if you fall into difficulties or are unable to repay the loan for any particular reason your home is at risk.
