Secured loans are strictly for people who own their own home. The whole point of a secured loan is that there is no risk to the lender as they are free to repossess a borrower's home if repayments are not forthcoming. Tenants and those living with parents are ineligible for secured loans, as they often do not own an item of sufficient value to act as guaranteed collateral.

The process of accepting a secured loan involves the valuation of the property in question. The claimed ownership of a home does not necessarily mean that an applicant is guaranteed success. Instead, proof o ownership must be submitted and a qualified inspector must be sent to a house to evaluate how much it is worth. If the house is not worth as much as the loan itself plus interest then the homeowner is in the same position as a tenant: they do not possess an item of sufficient value to act as guaranteed collateral.
