There are all sorts of loans out there both unsecured and secured and two very popular types of loans are remortgages and secured loans. Both secured loans and remortgages are only granted to those who own the property in which they live as they need to be secured against the equity in the property.

The fact that remortgages and secured loans are safely secured, lenders have more confidence that the customer will repay their borrowings and are therefore prepared to grant remortgages and secured loans at good interest rates.

The interest rates for secured loans and remortgages are normally much lower than that of unsecured loans where the loan lender is taking a greater risk, as if the borrower defaults in repaying, the lender can do little about it apart from taking out a default or CCJ against the borrower, and if the borrower is a homeowner the lender can take out an inhibition which is like a County Court Judgment secured against the property. This inhibition is registered at the Land Registry, and the homeowner cannot sell his property without first paying off the inhibition.

If a homeowner does not meet the repayments on an unsecured loan the loan lender can register a sort of secured CCJ against the offender in the shape of an inhibition.

The first security on a property is the mortgage, and an inhibition is registered as a security in exactly the same way as the mortgage. This means just as the mortgage has to be repaid when the property is sold so has the inhibition.This means that eventually the loan lender will receive the money back which he originally lent although he may have to wait some considerable time.

Remortgage rates start at 1.98% for a tracker remortgage or mortgage if the prospective borrower has a maximum LTV of 60%, and this rate is the lowest in the history of the mortgage industry
