For years before the recession loans of all kinds were available, and in fact loan lenders were advancing loans as if the product was going out of fashion.

Even tenants could obtain loans from companies such as Provident who are still in business and advancing loans to homeowners and tenants alike. A tenant is of course a non homeowner.

The problem with Provident is that the maximum loan has always been small. At present the maximum loan available for a first time borrower is 100, hardly a sum that would buy much nowadays.

There was a loan lender, Welcome finance who not only arranged secured loans for homeowners, but also granted loans to tenants. This meant naturally that the loan was unsecured and as they also accepted a certain amount of bad status these loans came with a pretty hefty interest rate, but they were useful none the less. Welcome fell victim to the credit crunch and has ceased trading, leaving tenants out in the cold on the loans front.

Whee tenants can get a loan is from a pay day loan company who are charging unbelievable interest rates of up to around the 2000% mark, and this is not a joke, and this is the truth about the rates that these firms charge and even the inter net is full of this now.

There always have been money lenders in the major cities of the UK and the poorest of individuals have always had to avail themselves of their services. Now however those who would not have dreamed of obtaining money from these illegal money lenders are being forced to do so, again at unbelievably high rates of interest.

Homeowners are in a much more fortunate position as if they have equity on their property secured homeowner loans are available with interest rates starting at about 9%.

Even homeowners with bad or even atrocious credit ratings can obtain a bad credit secured loans at tighter LTV and higher rates of interest, although these bad credit loans are still a good loan product.
