The two home loan products of secured loans, otherwise called homeowner loans, and remortgages are two kinds of loans that need to be secured.

The necessary asset is the security of a property

There are all sorts of secured loans and remortgages both commercial and residential.

Loans for cars, motor homes, etc. are actually secured loans and the vehicle itself i forms the security for the loan.

As thees loans are indeed secured, the lender can take the car, etc. back if a number of payments are missed.

Many do not understand it, but even loans used for home improvements are secured on the new conservatory, garden room etc.

In theory the loan lender can take back the kitchen, etc. but this would cause so much damage that it would hardly be worth his time. Therefore the borrower will usually be left with the goods.

Another form of secured loans are commercial ones that need to be secured on business property. These can raise extra money to improve the business,

The most commonly thought of secured loans are the private residential ones that require to be secured on private property.

A remortgage is very much like a secured loan and in the case of a residential loan remortgages need the equity on a property

Remortgages and secured loans require that the property has sufficient equity and what equity in fact is is the figure that remains when the mortgage balance is deducted from what the house or apartment is worth.

As such, if a property is worth 240,000 and the mortgage balance is 180,000 the equity is 60,000. On the other hand if a property is worth 230,000 and the mortgage outstanding is also 230,000 there is no equity, and neither a remortgage or a secured loan would be possible
