A borrower’s promise to repay a loan can quickly lose value if they are unable to repay a loan or are declared bankrupt or placed into liquidation – which is why you will find that institutional lenders always request a form of security when providing a loan – whether it be a personal or corporate guarantee, a charge or mortgage over land, an equitable charge or a general security interest over all or specific assets of the borrower.
If you or someone you know finds themselves in a position whereby they are providing security under a loan or providing a loan and wondering whether to request that the borrower provide you with security, it is of upmost importance that you contact a solicitor who can advise you of your rights and obligations when it comes to providing or requesting security.

Our in depth understanding and knowledge of loans, mortgage law and the personal property securities law means that our clients who are lenders obtain the certainty that their security interest will be registered and they will rank as secured creditors, whereas our clients who are borrowers receive comfort in knowing the rights, obligations and risks when it comes to providing security under a loan.
