Why Choose a Personal Loan?

Are you wondering why choose a personal loan? One of the main reasons for choosing a Personal loan is the flexibility. There are a variety of Personal loans available which can be divided into two categories: secured personal loans and unsecured personal loans. Homeowners can apply for a Secured personal loan (using their property as security), whereas tenants only have the option of an unsecured personal loan.

Secured Personal Loan:

A Secured personal loan is simply a loan that is secured against property. Secured personal loans are suitable for when you are trying to raise a large amount; are having difficulty getting an unsecured personal loan; or, have a poor credit history.

Lenders can be more flexible when it comes to Secured personal loans, making a Secured personal loan possible when you may have been turned down for an unsecured personal loan.

You can borrow any amount from £5,000 to £75,000 and repay it over any period from 5 to 25 years.

The only disadvantage to a secured personal loan is that there is a risk of losing your home, if for whatever reason, you are unable to keep up the repayments.

Unsecured Personal Loan:

An Unsecured personal loan is good for people who are not homeowners and cannot obtain a secured loan for example; a tenant living in rented accommodation.

An Unsecured personal loan is a personal loan where the lender has no claim on a homeowner's property should they fail to repay. Instead, the lender is relying solely on the ability of a borrower to meet their loan borrowing repayments.

The amount you are able to borrow can start from as little as £500 and go up to £25,000.

The repayment period will range from anywhere between six months and ten years.

An Unsecured personal loan can be used for almost anything - a luxury holiday, a new car, a wedding, or home improvements.

Unsecured personal loans are invariably more expensive than secured loans, and the repayment periods demanded by lenders are shorter too.
