Secured Loan vs Second Mortgage

Hi, I would really appreciate some advice.

I took out a secured loan a few years ago and have recently checked my credit file and it appears on my report as a mortgage.

Is there a difference between the two products?

Many thanks for any help

    no.
    A 'Mortgage loan' is simply a loan secured against a single and specific property.
