Second Mortgages: The Pros and Cons
|
 If you are like most average home or flat owners in the United Kingdom, then you home is likely your most valuable asset. There is a good chance that your home is worth considerably more than what you originally paid for it, and because of that, you likely have a substantial amount of equity built up in your home.
This equity can be especially useful if you need to borrow a significant sum of money. By pledging the equity in your home as collateral, you can borrow large sums of money for debt consolidation, home renovations or a number of other reasons. As with anything else, there are pros and cons that you need to consider before you take out a second mortgage. Here are the pros and cons for your consideration:
PROS
-much lower interest rates than an unsecured loan
-flexible repayment schedule
-generally easy application and approval process
-most "blemishes" on your credit record will be overlooked because you own a home and have equity in it
CONS
-you could conceivably lose your home if you defaulted on your second mortgage payments
-another lender to deal with
Overall, if you need to borrow a large sum of money, a second mortgage is the most cost-effective way to do it. Avoid unsecured loans, as they will tag you with a large amount of interest.
