Choosing a Loan


Most of us at some time require a loan and there are many different types to choose from. The challenge is finding the best one to suits your needs.

Loans fall into two categories - unsecured personal loans or secured loans.

Unsecured personal loan
This is a personal loan, available from a bank, building society or other finance company, without security. A lump sum will be loaned in return for agreeing to make regular repayments, usually by bank direct debit. Personal loans of this type are generally offered up to £25,000. Repayments are over a period of time, usually between six months and ten years.

Lenders charge interest, which can be fixed or variable, on the amount borrowed. This interest charge is expressed as an APR (annual percentage rate). The APRs will vary dependent upon the amount of the loan and sometimes the terms. Usually the rate is fixed and remains the same throughout the period of the loan. If it is variable you must be advised of this possibility.

Secured personal loan
A secured personal loan is one in which some of your property, usually your home, is held by the lender as security for the amount you have borrowed. Secured loans usually offer lower interest rates than unsecured ones.
