by Suzy Leask


In the course of the recession that is between the beginning of 2007 and 2010, there were not many financial matters that were not adversely affected and this also includes secured loans, remortgages and mortgages.

During the period matters regarding the borrowing of money were in a dreadful state, where as before this time these homeowner loans were very vibrant, and many people were in a position to obtain a secured loan, mortgage and remortgage.

Before 2007 borrowing was easy for many people, and one aspect of this was the lending of secured loans, mortgages and remortgages up to 125% equity. It was even possible because of this to become a homeowner for the first time with out any money at all as he could take out a mortgage for the whole of the purchase or even for 25% more than this.

Apart from slack equity margins, interest rates for secured loans started at 5.9%, but the 125% plans had higher rates about 11%.

Matters change drastically in the course or the recession, as equity margins reduced to an amazing degree and underwriting in general tightened, meaning that there were many less borrowers that caused several lenders and many secured loans and remortgage brokers to go out of business.

Between the middle 2010 until the present, secured loans, mortgages and remortgages witnessed a gradual improvement with such aspects as a rise in equity of 10% for secured loans that during the credit crunch had been reduced to 75% for employed and 65% for self employed.

Mortgages also became more appealing again as first time buyer mortgage deals had equity margins rise 75% to 90% with several mortgage providers.

Remortgages and mortgages became very enticing in the last year with very low interest rates available, and great fixed rates on the market, meaning that a homeowner could be certain of not only paying a reasonable amount each month, but would also have the certainty of the exact same payment for a number of years.

With somebody knowing what the future holds now would be as good as time as any to apply for a mortgage or remortgage or a secured loan both of which can be used for any purpose, including debt consolidation.
