Secured loan vs. personal loan
There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing between a secured loan and a personal loan. Each loan will suit a borrower differently depending on their personal circumstances.
Secured loans are obtained through securing the equity that you own in an asset (usually your home) as collateral against the loan. Secured loans are usually favourable when looking to borrow large amounts of money; you can typically expect to borrow anything from £10,000 to £2.5m over a lengthy period of time.
A secured loan might also be preferable for those with bad credit ratings looking to borrow capital.
A personal loan on the other hand tends to be more straightforward than other forms of finance.
As the loan is unsecured, it does not require you to put an asset (such as your home) down as collateral against the loan. Personal loans are offered by the majority of banks and other lenders, and you can typically expect to borrow between £1,000 and £25,000 over a relatively short period of time (in comparison to a secured loan).
Although you are usually offered higher interest rates with personal loans, you tend to pay back a smaller amount in total as the loan terms tend to be shorter than secured loans.
