Which type of finance product do I need?

Loans

Typically loans are offered for a variable term. This means you can decide how long you want to pay back the loan. Loans are usually offered at a fixed rate of interest. A loan can be used for almost any purpose but they are mainly used for home improvements, car purchases, holidays & debt consolidation.

Unsecured personal loans generally have the best rates (£5,000 - £25,000), but also have the narrowest lending criteria, so that only a minority of those who apply are approved, or receive the rate they applied for.

Secured personal loans are very similar to unsecured loans, but because the loan is secured against your property, you can often borrow greater amounts of money, up to £100,000 in some cases. Secured loans tend to be very popular for debt consolidation. They are also the best type of loans for homeowners who have been refused credit in the past, because additional security in the form of the property has been provided as part of the agreement.

What happens if I have been refused credit in the past?

No-one wants to admit to having been refused credit but in fact it is something that is a lot more widespread than you may think.

Fortunately, there are a number of financial institutions which cater specifically for customers who have been refused credit, at rates that are much more favourable than many imagine. Loan Expert can find you a lender that will approve your application and give best rates for your circumstances.
