Homeowner Loans FAQ

What is the difference between a homeowner loan and a secured loan?

There's no difference. While individual loans will vary, according to your particular circumstances, homeowner loans are loans secured on property, as collateral in the event of non-payment.

Will I get a good interest rate on a homeowner loan?

Interest rates are at their lowest in nearly 50 years, so there has never been a better time to get a good deal on a homeowner loan. For example, our rates start at just 7.4%. Of course, if you have a bad credit history such as mortgage arrears, payment defaults, CCJs or can't prove your income, you'll pay a higher rate of interest to reflect the greater risk.
