Loans for tenants may have terms as follows:
- Borrowing from £500 to £25,000
- Repayment over 1 to 10 years, although most offer a maximum of 5
- Fixed interest repayments (some do offer variable so check the small print)
- Optional loan insurance (please shop about if you are keen to protect your loan!)
For smaller loan amounts it may be best to use a 0% credit card or ask for an overdraft from your bank for a short period of time. It's always good to ask what your own bank can do as they may offer deals for existing customers which are not published in branch or on their website.
The main factor in your ability to obtain an unsecured personal loan is your credit report uk. Providers like to minimise their risk when lending money so will choose to offer the very best loan rates to those with a clear repayment record. However, if you have some patchy previous credit all is not lost. Lenders can be flexible and will consider most circumstances, but may apply an additional charge to cover the risk they are taking on.
So, if you're a homeowner you can borrow money with a reduced risk of repossession and if you're a tenant you can realise a loan without the need to put up a house as security for the debt.
Finding the best unsecured loan, or loans for tenants, all comes down to research. Here are some of places you can expect to find unsecured loans in the UK. Hopefully this helps get you started:
- Loan Brokers
- Building Societies
- Banks
- Specialist Lenders
Don't leave any stone unturned and you'll be sure to find the deal that's right for you.
