The credit crunch affected the home loan sectors of remortgages, mortgages and secured homeowner loans to an enormous extent.

Homeowner loans dropped to less than 20% of their level that they were at before the recession.

The real beauty of a secured loan lies in the fact that these secured homeowner loans can be used for any purpose providing the purpose is legal.

A common purpose of the secured loan apart fro home improvements , car or boat purchase, etc. was for debt consolidation. This is when credit cards debts, personal loans, etc. are all rolled into the one and replaced with a single low interest repayment in the shape of a secured loan. A secured loan at about 9% takes the place of credit cards costing from normally about 20% to even double that. The savings by using a secured loan for debt consolidation is apparent.

Mortgages which almost every consumer needs to buy a property declined as people were inclined to stay put at their current address during the recession, and as such there was not the same need for mortgages. The decline in property prices further had an adverse affect on the mortgage market.

Most homeowners are tied to their mortgage for anything from twelve to sixty months after which many used to change their mortgage lender.

Changing mortgage providers is known as a remortgage and remortgages can save the homeowner money by giving him a cheaper interest rate.

Remortgages can also be taken out for a greater amount to raise funds for almost any purpose just like secured loans

The rates available for remortgages is linked to good equity in the property to be remortgaged, and the fall in the value of property lead to a great decline in remortgages.

It was believed that the end of the recession would see secured loans, mortgages and remortgages returning to something of their former glory but this hope has been false.

The reality is that house prices are on the verge of falling again, mortgages are at their lowest ebb for nine years and remortgages are at their lowest for ten years with secured loans seeing no improvement.
