A secured loan is a loan secured on your property as a second charge, in addition to your mortgage (first charge). Secured loans are available from £5,000 to £100,000 and can be used for any legal purpose, but typically secured loans are used for debt consolidation, home improvements or to finance a family member's further education or deposit for their first home.
The term of a secured loan can vary from 5 to 30 years and some lenders have no maximum age so loans could run over a longer term than your mortgage to keep repayments lower. This is dependant on personal circumstances and whether you could afford the repayments into retirement.
