Secured loans are also called homeowner loans because the equity of the house is secured in lieu of the loan amount.

Recent trends in the UK loan market show that the tide is still in favour of secured loans despite the risk of repossession attached to it. The number of properties occupied by just one person was around 20 million in 1990. The same is projected to hit 25 million in 2020. (Source: Discussion on Communities and Local Government, DCLG).

The trend is reinforced by a research conducted by the Economic and Social Research Council that found that since 1971, the population of UK has increased by 5%, but the number of single households has increased by 31%. More homes mean more people who can go in for availing homeowner loans. This is a clear cut indicator of boom to be expected in the market for secured loans.

So, if you own a home then utilise it in the times of financial needs.
