Aimed specifically at the people who do not have a landed property of their own, non homeowner loans are the only hope of this category of people. Tenants, both council tenants and tenants with private lenders, can get their financial needs covered through the non homeowner loan. The category also includes people who have been living with their parents in their parent house.
Non homeowner loan is generally offered as an unsecured personal loan. However, when borrowers agree to pledge certain other assets as collateral, then the loan is converted into a secured loan.
The best part of the non homeowner loan is that there is not much to lose. You haven’t pledged anything or the asset pledged is not as important as a home in homeowner loan. Non homeowner loans do not haunt borrowers with the repossession fears, which is so characteristic of the homeowner loans.
This means that the lenders are at a risk of losing the money lent as non homeowner loan. While the money can be recovered by suing the borrower for the non payment, the process is often long drawn and costs dearly to the loan providers too.
It is because of this risk that loan providers desire the borrowers to have a good credit history. Borrowers who have a good credit history imply that they are less drawn towards non payment. Those with a bad credit history may find a large majority of loan providers running away from them. Since, it is the credit history that acts as a guarantee for the borrower in the absence of collateral, loan providers will find it difficult to ignore bad credit history.
This does not put a full stop on the
chances of the bad credit borrowers to get non homeowner loans. Certain loan providers do have deals for the borrowers with a lower credit score, i.e. bad credit history.
Borrowers wishing to take up non homeowner loans need to fulfil the following essential requirements:
• The borrower must be in full time employment.
• Computerised pay slips are used for paying the borrower.
• Bank account must have a direct debit facility.
• The proofs of identification and residence must be ready.
• The borrower must have been regular in making rent payments.
• The borrower must have a home telephone line or a mobile (if it is a mobile, a copy of the agreement must be produced)
The non homeowner loan can be used for as many purposes as a homeowner loan. These are consolidating debts, purchasing cars etc. However, you need to understand that the amount available under non homeowner loan is not at par with the homeowner loans. The lower amount may be the result of increased risk. In money terms, the amount under homeowner loans can range from £1,000 to £50,000 over a period of 1 to 25 years.
You would surely not be complaining after learning about non homeowner loans. Though the terms under non homeowner loans are not as attractive as homeowner loans, borrowers cannot help because of the vast differences in the circumstances of the homeowners and non homeowners. Also, there are not much finance options for non homeowners other than to take non homeowner loans.
