What should you consider before taking a loan?

Loan Term

Try to keep the repayment term as short as possible with monthly payments you can afford. The longer you take to repay your loan, the more interest you pay and expensive the loan.

Fixe your rate

Most personal loans tend to charge fixed interest rate, which means that your monthly payments will stay the same throughout the life of your loan. This will give you peace of mind and you'll be able to budget more easily than if you had a variable rate.

How Much to borrow?

Tricky question, you’ll need to have your sensible hat on for this one. The more you borrow the more interest you will pay, so you should only borrow what you need. Conversely you should also ensure that you take enough money for your needs, otherwise you could again be looking for a further loan which could in turn cost you even more.

Secured or Unsecured?

Deciding whether an unsecured loan, that is one which does not require a borrower to offer collateral, or a secured loan, where the borrower risks losing their home if they are unable to keep up with repayments is an important decision. An unsecured loan is always the preferred choice, as a homeowner it makes sense not to risk your home unless it is necessary. It is possible though that your credit rating excludes you from an unsecured loan product or you may want to borrow more than £25,000. In these cases applying for a secured loan is an acceptable course of action.
