A secured loan, also known as second charge, is a loan
that is secured on a property. In the case of a second
charge it is a debt that is secured after a first charge
and the first charge being a mortgage. You will rarely,
if ever, find a secured loan secured on a property on
its own as it will normally be behind a first charge or
mortgage with an ordinary mortgage lender.
Due to the fact that these loans are indeed secured they
are generally taken out for longer periods of time then
personal loans and as such they are also taken normally
for greater amounts of money.
That said you can borrow virtually any amount on a
secured loan subject to the value of your property but
you are normally recommended not to borrow much less
than about £5,000 as it is more cost effective to
arrange this amount on a shorter personal loan. This is
due mainly to the fact that as a secured loan is over a
longer period of time it would eventually cost
prohibitively more in interest payments even though the
monthly interest may be less than that charged on the
personal loan.
Owing to the fact that the loan is secured on property
the lender has security should the borrower ever
defaults. The lender in extreme circumstances is
perfectly within their rights to reposes the property to
recover their debt. This is why you will see text at the
bottom of advertisements about secured loans that reads
