Your home: It's probably your biggest asset. Having a home to back you up when you need a loan is one of the greatest advantages of home ownership. In recent years, there has been a major increase in the amount of people looking to use their homes as a way to get access to extra money when they need it most. One of the best ways to do this is through a second mortgage.

A second mortgage is exactly what it says it is - a loan made in addition to your first mortgage, and it's based on the amount of equity you have built into your home. Many people use them to fund home renovations, to pay off credit cards, or to put a child through college. Since you've already been through the process once, the underwriting required to get a second mortgage is much simpler than it was the first time around, and the cost of the transactions involved will be significantly lower.

This usually makes up for the fact that interest rates on the second mortgage are a bit higher than they were on the first one.

On a second mortgage, you will borrow a fixed sum of money against your home equity, and pay it back over a specified amount of time. The amount you borrow will be combined with the amount you still owe on your first mortgage.

It all sounds pretty simple. There are just a few things to keep in mind. First of all, don't take out a second mortgage on your home unless you've built up a fair amount of equity in the property already- that is, made payments on the original mortgage balance for a good amount of time. You may still be able to get a second mortgage if you don't have much equity, but your rates will be so much higher, and the amount you can borrow so much lower, that it will essentially be a waste of your time and money. This is one of those things that is worth waiting for.

Also, look into the other options of borrowing against the equity of your home, including a home equity loan and a home equity line of credit. All of these options allow you to borrow against your equity, but there are slight variations among them that mean one of the three may be the best option for you. It will depend, for the most part, on your particular financial standing, the amount of money you need to borrow, and the amount of home equity you currently have.

Whatever stage of the mortgage game you’re at, unless you happen to be a qualified financial advisor, solicitor and broker all rolled into one, you’ll need professional help to find and arrange your loan. This guide presents some basic information on mortgages, but you’ll need to take specialist advice for your individual circumstances.

Having a general awareness of the processes involved and an idea of what’s available to you should help you to make the right decision when you choose your mortgage.

You should be aware, too, of the difference between ‘information’ and ‘advice’. Anyone can give information, and a survey of the web will offer literally thousands of pages about mortgages. Be aware of the legal aspects of mortgages and finances – any agreements should be in writing, and you should check all documents carefully before signing. Verbal agreements and information should always be backed up by written copies. Below are some useful starting points for you to explore. Good luck!

Information

The web offers any amount of information on mortgages – check that the pages are recent as rules and offers change constantly. Good sources of official information are:

The Financial Services Authority – includes a guide to money, mortgages and debt, plus details of regulatory bodies and ombudsmen www.fsa.gov.uk

Direct Gov – general information on finances and benefits
www.direct.gov.uk

Inland Revenue – check the tax rules that apply to you
www.hmrc.gov.uk


Advice

Anyone offering you advice should be a qualified professional. They should be registered with an appropriate independent regulatory body, and you can ask to see copies of their qualifications. There’s a lot of free advice out there, that should help you without obligation, and it’s worth taking advantage of.

Independent Financial Advisors

Find an advisor at www.impartial.co.uk and a mortgage specialist at www.unbiased.co.uk

Solicitors

Often family or friends will recommend a solicitor, otherwise look for one that specialises in conveyancing and house buying. Check www.lawsociety.org for professionals in England and Wales, and www.lawscot.org.uk for Scotland.

If you have a query or complaint

The FSA are now the body that regulates financial professionals and lenders – the Financial Ombudsman can investigate complaints or disputes and usually resolve them. Contact the professional or lender first – they should have a complaints procedure. If you are still not satisfied, you can ask the ombudsman to consider your case: www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk
.
(The websites of the respective law societies of England & Wales and Scotland are the place to find out how to make a complaint about a solicitor or firm, see above.)

If you have bad credit, you may be finding it increasingly difficult to get vital loans. While this is generally a sign that you should try to avoid further borrowing, there are certain circumstances in which it is just vital that you get credit. This may include paying rent, especially if you have young children, paying school fees or paying for medical treatment. A bad credit rating can also hinder your attempts to get insurance, rent a home and sometimes get a job.

Repair Your Credit

If you are facing problems such as these, you should consider trying to repair your credit rating. Credit repair is a general term often applied to the controversial practice of improving or rehabilitating one's financial reputation (creditworthiness) among creditors. To improve a credit rating damaged by poor credit habits, in the long run only one thing will work: changing those habits.

Making arrangements with the creditors to repay them is often one of the steps in improving one's credit habits. Creditors may accept slow payment schedules, as an alternative to writing off the debt. In some cases, creditors may accept a less-than-full repayment (pennies on the dollar). The key here is contact with the creditor and taking action to retire the debt.

At the same time, reviving an old debt that is no longer collectible can actually do additional damage to one's credit reputation. It is best to be aware of the circumstances regarding the debts collect-ability, statute of limitations, and legal and illegal collection practices, before contacting a creditor on a very old debt.

FACT

In December 2003, Congress passed the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act), which included the right to a free annual credit report on request and a number of provisions designed to improve the accuracy of credit reports.

On June 4, the Federal Trade Commission finalized its rule for implementing the new consumer right to a free credit report, rolling it out over a nine-month period, beginning on the west coast in December 2004 and finishing on the east coast in September 2005.

From 1994 to 2004, the state PIRGs and other consumer organizations have issued numerous reports showing that sloppy credit reporting agency practices are at fault for errors in consumer credit reports.
Inaccurate credit reports could damage 1 in 4 consumer's ability to buy a home, rent an apartment, obtain credit, open a bank account, or even get a job.
