A secured homeowner loan is subject to The Consumer Credit Act 1974. The Act contains strict regulations about how money is lent and covers loans up to a value of £25,000.
Loans for sums greater than £25,000 are unregulated.
When taking out a secured loan you will be asked to sign a credit agreement, which should be read very carefully as the terms are binding. For regulated loans of under £25,000 the lender must provide a consideration period of 7 days. Lenders offer insurance policies and payment protection schemes to cover your monthly repayments in the event of accident, sickness, unemployment and death (conditions apply). Cover does vary between lenders, as does the cost, therefore you should check individual policies for what is included, and just as importantly, and more important what they excluded.
