A home equity loan involves borrowing money based on the value of your home. An equity loan can be for almost any purpose, from financing vital home improvements to cutting down on your outgoings through debt consolidation.

If you are juggling numerous existing debts, a consolidation loan can help you get your finances back under control. This form of loan entails taking out one secured loan to pay off other debts, such as:

- Credit and store card bills.

- Car loans.

- Tuition fees.

- Hire purchase repayments.

- Catalogue bills.

By replacing several debts with one repayment, you can dramatically simplify your monthly outgoings. Being in debt is undoubtedly stressful - and having several debts is particularly worrying. That is why replacing them with just one simple repayment can help lighten your load.

Debt consolidation can also save you money. As secured loans often have lower rates of interest than the unsecured equivalent, monthly repayments will be lower. This is because some form of collateral has been named, reducing the risk to the lender.

While you may want to get your finances back on track, there are other reasons to consider a home equity loan.

You may be considering selling your home and want to take out a home equity loan to fund refurbishments or other home improvements. If this is the case, the loan could help you guarantee a sale or could potentially push up the valuation of your property.

Even if you have poor credit, home equity loans are available that will suit your circumstances. In fact, there are many lenders who will offer home equity payouts even if you have:

- A poor credit rating.

- CCJs.

- Mortgage arrears.

- Defaults on previous loans.

When you have a poor credit rating, the easiest way to find a lender is through a broker. They will consider all of your circumstances when searching the loans market to find the right deal for you. Among the factors they will take into account are:

- Loan amount.

- Terms and conditions.

- Interest rates.

- Arrangement fees.

- Repayment terms.

This will help you ensure that you can afford the loan you choose. After all, successfully repaying a secured loan will go some way to repairing your credit rating - making it easier to get credit in the future.

A debt consolidation loan can help you escape the cycle of debt, but whatever purpose your home equity loan is for, a broker will be on hand to help you every step of the way.

Gordon Parkes is an expert author and has written extensively about the loans industry. This includes how to find the right consolidation loans and arranging poor credit home equity loans.
