▶️ VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Unlike homeowner loans, logbook loans or other secured forms of finance, unsecured personal loans do not require the borrower to put up a form of security - be it a house or vehicle - as a guarantee for the lender. There is also no requirement for a third party to act as a guarantor. The lender bases a decision on whether a borrower will be able to repay the loan by assessing the applicant’s creditworthiness, income and their other financial commitments.

They can offer a borrower an affordable option to pay for a car or a holiday in a flexible way with repayment schedules which can range from one to 10 years. Most people who successfully apply for a personal loan are able to borrow between £1,000 and £25,000 and there are lenders who have financial products for non-homeowners & tenants as well as homeowners. Interest rates are lower than for other forms of finance and there are now personal loans available for borrowers with less-than-perfect credit.
Personal loans are available form a wide range of lenders and applicants are not restricted to the traditional High Street banks when looking at this type of finance.

There are probably more unsecured loan products on the market than any other type of loan with each lender having different acceptance criteria, different repayment schedules and different interest rates. In general, however, the more that you borrow, the lower the APR you are likely to pay.
