Borrowing so much money may appeal to some. If house prices are on the fall though, you may be left with negative equity. This is when the equity in your home is worth less than the secured loan, and is known as a toxic loan. That said, lenders have mostly pulled out of this market since the start of the so-called credit crunch.
Although interest rates on secured loans are generally lower than that of unsecured personal loans, its important to remember that they too can go up as well as down. Therefore, if interest rates continue to rise, then this too adds to the likelihood of ending up with a toxic loan.
Toxic loans can easily damage a borrowers financial health. He or she may find it difficult to keep up with the loan repayments, especially in addition to any other outgoings.
In the past, lenders eagerness meant it was not too difficult to end up in such a situation. Plenty of advanced planning and thoroughly scouring the market, however, should ensure that a borrower does not end up with a negative equity and thus a toxic loan.
