Britannia HomeOwner Loans?

Hi,

We are doing some work on the house, and while we have the cash to pay in full it would drain most of the savings, so I am looking to take a 2-3 year loan for about 7-8K to pay for some of it.

We have a mortgage with britannia and I notice they do a 3 yr fixed rate Home Owner Loan of 4.49/6.09 depending on what your loan takes you LTV to.

I know secured loans are generally not good, but this 3 year rate beats all unsecured rates hands down and is fixed.

I just want to check I am not missing something Totally obvious here! (I know if I dont pay - they can reposses).

THoughts welcome.
