| • I need a loan for home improvements - Secured or unsecured - What's the difference? |
|
|
|
|
Taking out a loan for home improvements can often work out cheaper than signing up for the finance offered by the supplier of your windows. If you take out a loan you could save even more money by consolidating expensive existing debt such as credit cards and overdrafts

Secured Loan
A secured loan is secured on your home by the lender. By doing this, the lender is minimising the risk of losing any money and so can offer a secured loan at lower interest than an unsecured loan. A Secured Loan can often be easier to get as past credit problems such as mortgage or loan arrears or ccj's can often be discounted.

|
Unsecured loan
An unsecured loan costs more in repayments but does not carry the risks of a secured loan. If you don't repay it, the lender can't take your house off you, for this reason, it's often hard to get one if you've experienced past credit problems.
