Homeowner Loans And Loans Before And During The Recession.
In the past previous to the credit crunch all types of loans were readily available. Loans were freely flying about like pieces of confetti.
Even tenants could obtain loans from companies such as Provident who are still in business and advancing loans to homeowners and tenants alike. A tenant is of course a non homeowner.
There have always been firms such as Provident and Shop A Cheque who granted unsecured loans to tenants and homeowners alike, but at very very high rates of interest
There was a loan lender, Welcome Finance who not only arranged secured loans for homeowners, but also granted loans to tenants. This meant naturally that the loan was unsecured and as they also accepted a certain amount of bad status these loans came with a pretty hefty interest rate, but they were useful none the less. Welcome fell victim to the credit crunch and has ceased trading, leaving tenants out in the cold on the loans front.
The situation is such that if a non homeowner really needs a loan, they are forced to go to one of the many pay day loans firms which have sprung up and their loans have interest rates of often almost 2000%. Yes 2,000%, and this is not a typing error.
The poorest and weakest in society when they require a loan have always been forced to use the services of illegal money lenders who abound in the large inner city housing areas. Now people who in the past could obtain loans else where are being forced to go down the route of the illegal money lenders, as their last hope.
Homeowners are in a better position as if they have equity in their property they can obtain a secured loan based on the equity of their property, and if they have a good credit rating these secured homeowner loans are available from about 9% APR.
Homeowner who have bad credit can obtain bad credit secured loans at 50% to 60% LTV and at interest rates of over 20%. This is still fairly good.
