Non homeowner loans - creating a source of finance for the
homeless
Because of the preference that loan providers show for the
homeowners, you have started having feelings of jealousy against
them. Your experience with lenders shows that there are not much
takers for you as a non homeowner. However, we feel that you are
still half informed. Though, loan providers' preference for
homeowners is well known, it isn't that they do not cater to the
borrowers other than homeowners. So, you as non-homeowners too
can get good deals in non homeowner loans.
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
