Choosing the Right Loan

There are however some hints of how the right loan should look like. Firstly, let’s take the secured loan, where you offer as collateral your own property.
If you go with a home equity loan, you should check that the lender does offer you a reasonable amount in exchange for your equity.
This means, that if your equity equals say £60,000, the amount you receive from the lender exceeds 70%-75% of this sum. Anything below this percentage will not constitute a good loan for you. Then, you must have a look at the overall cost of the loan, and not only the amount itself.
If, calculating interest payments, the possible late payment fees and the arrangement fee itself, and adding these up exceeds well 10-15% of the total loan amount, that will constitute an expensive loan option for you.
The home equity line of credit comes with a bit higher interest rate payments, but still the extra costs should not exceed 15-20% of the total initial amount.

Secured loans are beneficial for those who couldn't get an unsecured loan or would like to borrow a larger amount. Monthly payments are considerably lower, and the repayment period is longer as well. Apply now and receive the best secured loans quotes in just a couple of minutes!

Payday loans, quick unsecured personal loans should be on your list only if there are no other options, as these most of times come with very high charges and the overall cost of the loan is very expensive. If you need smaller amounts of money like for an emergency, then make sure you can repay the amount as soon as possible to the lender.

In case you do own a property, but you already found the chance to buy a better one, but your current property cannot be sold that quickly, you should consider the available bridging loans. These types, as their very name suggests, are only a temporary financial solutions, and should be used carefully. Bridging loans come with a higher interest rate payment required (12%-15% and even higher), and a short term (6 -12 months with possibility sometimes to extend it to 3 years). So, you have to be very well determined and motivated in order to contract one, because time is working against you with these types of loans.

Generally, the right loan should have the following overall traits:

If it is secured, it should come on very good terms like low interest rates (anything between 7.9% - 10.9% at the top)

If it is an unsecured loan, it should have no early redemption fees applicable. Your financial situation may change significantly along the term of the contract, and then you want to repay it as soon as possible, in order to avoid so many interest payments over such long term

The extra charges (arrangement fees, interest payments, other eventual charges) summed up should under no circumstance exceed 15-20% at the top from the total initial amount.

You always have to correlate your income to the terms of a loan, any type you should contract. What is an expensive loan for you can be a cheap option for someone with a higher income, and vice versa. The monthly repayments should normally stay within the boundaries of 15% - 30% of your income.
