Why Choose A Personal Loan?
By: John Mussi
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.
