These are secured loans, homeowner loans which are really pretty much the same thing and remortgages.

By Liz Moir There are three main types of home loans which enable a homeowner to raise funds for a vast number of purposes. Releasing equity is a good way of funding home improvements of all kinds, buying a car, motor home, boat, motor bike or caravan. Houses in general rise steadily in value with the past two years being an exception. There are however even more interesting uses for a secured loan...

For example, the Beauly-Denny proposal has been subject to...
