Certain nations are once more in the depths of a dreadful credit crisis.
Spain and Italy are probably worse than the other countries, and Italy is in such deep financial distress that other countries are buying Italian Government Bonds which in fact like lending them money in an attempt to stop total chaos from ensuing.
Although Great Britain is not directly affected by this, they will form part of the bail out, as well as the fact that these countries are our trading neighbours, and as such not even a financial genius can possibly predict with absolute certainty what the future holds.
Whenever banks are affected by a crisis, the effect of this is felt by all lending institutions which leads to such loans as secured loans, remortgages and mortgages being affected.
Since the end of the recession, matters regarding three home loans have improved, and although there are not so many plans available as before the credit crisis, and very lax equity margins are no longer available, there are still many cheap secured loans there for the taking, in addition to great mortgage and remortgage deals.
Mortgages and remortgages used to be granted on a self declaration basis, and in fact until four years ago 50% of mortgage and remortgage applicants self certified their income.
This was completely banned for mortgage and remortgage purposes, and lenders also demanded accounts for secured loan borrowers.
However one secured loan lender in the last year has slackened off, and is prepared to accept six months bank statements as proof of income providing the applicant has a loan to value of 60% in his property.
With the raising of loans to value over the last year for secured loans, remortages and mortgages, as well as the reduction of interest rates, it would appear that there is no better time to consider these three homeowner loans, because it is unlikely that they will see any improvement in the near future.
Therefore this makes it an ideal time to consider a secured loan, remortgage and mortgage when their underwriting and availability is so good at present, and it would be wise to think about a fixed rate option as the monthly payment will remain the same for a period of years.
Taking out a remortgage or secured loan for debt consolidation would ensure that the homeowner is not only going to save money every month by combining his credit cards and personal; loans etc.
into the one repayment but will also know just how much this payment will be for a certain agreed time.
With uncertain times looming ahead, arranging debt consolidation loans can be one way of making certain that your financial waters will be calm.
