Loan Guide




By James Hunaban

One of the main mistakes that most people make when looking for a loan is to only approach one lender. A loan is such a serious obligation, that you must shop around. A personal loan is what it says, a loan for you to spend as you like. A debt consolidation loan is a useful tool, but it doesn't look at the reason why you got into debt to start with. A home equity loan is one which is based on the amount of equity you have in your home. In the case of business loans the most important task is in preparing a business plan. You should also consider what type of loan is suitable.

Unsecured

An unsecured personal loan is a good way to obtain a loan from £1000 up. This type of loan can be used for any purpose. An unsecured loan is not linked to your house and means your home will not be at risk should you run into trouble when trying to repay. Unsecured loans are normally provided at a higher interest rate than a secured loan. An unsecured loan can help you pay for some home improvements, a holiday, school fees or a surprise tax bill. Since you are putting up no collateral at all and already have poor credit, the lender is taking quite a risk by letting you have an unsecured loan. An unsecured loan can be a good idea for someone who has several high interest debts which are causing them to pay large amounts in monthly repayments. There's no doubt about it, discovering the best unsecured loan websites can be quite a challenge.

Secured

A secured loan is a type of loan that requires the borrower to give the lender some form of security. In every case with secured loans you should know that your home is at risk if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loan secured on it. If you don't keep up the payments, the secured loan providers know that they are entitled to seize your home to meet their debts. There are lots of reasons why people apply for a secured loan. These are usually for debt consolidation or for home improvements. Why would someone choose a secured loan rather than a personal or unsecured loan? The secured loan charges a much lower interest rate than the unsecured one. It is really important to look around for the best low rate secured loan. It is fairly easy to obtain a personal secured loan in the UK.

A low cost loan could well be a good way to either consolidate debt or to pay for a major purchase so that the cost can be spread over a period. Borrowing from an unscrupulous lender, particularly one who offers you a high-cost loan using your home as security, is an extremely risky thing to do. If you do need to borrow money, have a look at your lowest cost options first. A no-cost loan is a loan where the lender pays all of the closing costs, and does not ask for any monies from you.

To sum up

The first step in getting a loan is determining what type of loan you need. Taking out a loan is a big responsibility, so please do make sure you do plenty of research. One other thing to note is co-signing a loan takes on the same importance as if the loan is for you.
