There are various kinds of loans available one of which is an unsecured loan. As this loan is as stated unsecured everyone is theoretically able to apply for this loan. Theoretically that is as obviously loans are subject to status, income and so on.

Being unsecured leaves the lender open to losing the money lent if the unsecured borrower defaults in the loan repayments.

This is why unsecured loans and especially those available to tenants have usually fairly high interest rates.

With unsecured loans the lender often requires proof of what the loan is going to be used for.

It is not just the matter of the borrower stating that the loan is to be used to buy a new kitchen and being handed the loan cheque, as the lender will generally ask for sight of two or three estimates for the kitchen.

For tenants unsecured loans are the only loans available to them.

It is a different kettle of fish for homeowners needing a loan as they can apply for secured loans also called homeowner loans.

They are called homeowner loans as they are only available to homeowners and secured loans as they are secured on the equity of a homeowners property.

As the loan is secured on the homeowners property the interest rates for these secured loans is always lower than that of the unsecured variety of loan.

A additional advantage of secured loans is that no proof of purpose is required and it is just a matter of sating on the application what the reason is for applying for the homeowner loan.

For homeowners by far the simplest way is to apply for a secured loan.
