Loans come in all shapes and sizes and one loan for which most people can apply is unsecured loans. These loans as their very name makes clear do not require any security at all which makes them available to everyone in theory at least.

Being unsecured leaves the lender open to losing the money lent if the unsecured borrower defaults in the loan repayments.

As the loan lender is taking a risk by advancing unsecured loans it means that their interest rates are high.

With unsecured loans the lender often requires proof of what the loan is going to be used for.

If the person applying for an unsecured loan states that he wishes the loan to buy a car for example he will have to provide further proof that this is indeed the purpose of the loan before he receives the loan funds either in the form of a cheque or paid into their bank account

For tenants unsecured loans are the only loans available to them.

However homeowners are in a different position as they can also apply for secured loans often called homeowner loans or even secured homeowner loans.

They are called homeowner loans as they are only available to homeowners and secured loans as they are secured on the equity of a homeowners property.

As the loan is secured on the homeowners property the interest rates for these secured loans is always lower than that of the unsecured variety of loan.

In addition to secured loans coming with better rates of interest than the unsecured loan the secured loan lender does not ask for proof of what the loan is to be used for and in fact secured loans can be used for almost any purpose..

Therefore there is no need for a homeowner to go through the inconvenience of an unsecured loan when secured loans are easier to arrange.
