The recession took the most dreadful toll on mortgages, remortgages and secured loans.
Homeowner secured loans declined rapidly since the beginning of 2007, and ended at a level of less than 20%.
Homeowner loans were on of the most popular ways of homeowners to obtain a low interest loan which they could use to do or buy just about anything their little heart desired.
A common purpose of the secured loan apart fro home improvements , car or boat purchase, etc. was for debt consolidation. This is when credit cards debts, personal loans, etc. are all rolled into the one and replaced with a single low interest repayment in the shape of a secured loan. A secured loan at about 9% takes the place of credit cards costing from normally about 20% to even double that. The savings by using a secured loan for debt consolidation is apparent.
Mortgages which almost every consumer needs to buy a property declined as people were inclined to stay put at their current address during the recession, and as such there was not the same need for mortgages. The decline in property prices further had an adverse affect on the mortgage market.
In the past a vast majority of homeowners moved their mortgage to another mortgage provider at the end of their tie in period which is normally from two years to five years.
Changing mortgage lender is done to obtain a lower interest rate and is called remortgaging or a remortgage.
Like secured loans, remortgages can be used for almost any purpose.
With low remortgage rates depending on the amount of equity on a property the drop in property values caused a decline in remortgage applications with many homeowners opting to remain with their current lender.
Everyone hoped that the end of the credit crunch would witness the resurrection of mortgages, remortgages and secured loans but this has not happened.
Remortgages are at their lowest level for more than ten years while mortgages have never been so out of favour since March 2001, and secured loans are still struggling.
