What is a secured loan
What do you think is the biggest concern of banks when they lend
you money? Well, cautious and conservative as they are, what
banks fear most is that you wont be able to pay back the loan.
It is not so much a question of trust, if you try to get away
from them, they'll hire a debt collection agency or have you
called up before a court. What they fear is simply that you will
not be able to pay them back, even though you want to.
Looking at it from their point of view it makes sense. Every day
they hand out a massive amount of money to total strangers. Each
mortgage alone averages over hundred thousand pounds. That's a
lot of your money to simply hand over. So what banks do is they
get security. This means that even if things go wrong for you,
they will probably still get their money back.
A secured loan must be secured over a particular asset. An asset
is anything that's worth money. The asset could be a car or a
famous painting, but usually, especially for mortgages, the
asset the banks are interested in is your house. The loan will
therefore be secured over your house.
In practice what this means is that while the deeds to the house
are in your name, the bank can have their name put on the deeds
that will give them a right to take and sell the house in the
event that you default on your loan payments. Repossessing the
house would require fair notice and a chance for you to make
repayments, and they would also need a court order, but
ultimately, that's what would happen. You would be kicked out
and the bank would then sell it, take what they require to pay
back their loan, and the rest they would pass on to you.
Therefore, it is unadvisable to allow loans to be secured over
your home to carelessly. If you find yourself in a position
where it is difficult to meet all your repayments, you may want
to take out more loans. In order to do this you will typically
be asked to secure the loan over your house. You may be willing
to do this, as it is the only way to get the loan, but you
should know that if you were ever to fall behind on the
payments, your house would be at risk.
