Hi there, my homeowner guarantor is in the process of selling up and becoming a rentor, will this affect my current loan agreement?

    Is there any chance of the loan being secured by their home?

    Either way they are still liable for your debts if you fail to keep up payments.

    Ordinarily nothing changes, except the lender wont be able to get a charge against the guarantors property should both of you refuse to pay. All the rest remains the same

    Could there be a charge on the guarantor's house to prevent the property being sold until the debt is paid? Otherwise there would be a gaping loophole in the whole point of having a home owner guarantor.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    There is a gaping hole. but guarantor loans are usually "smaller" (around £5k), so for the guarantor to sell their house and rent to escape having a CCJ placed against their property, its an awful lot of effort, not to mention cost to go through. The guarantor will also be ruining their good (else they wouldn't be approved as guarantor) credit history to facilitate this.

    Nope, they will still be lumbered with your debt if you don't pay.
