How Can You Be Sure That You Will Get A Loan That Suits You And Your Financial Circumstances

Category: Finance.

It can be an exciting time when you' re about to make a special purchase- a new car, or when you, motorbike or caravan' re about to book a fabulous far- away holiday.



Worse still, is that there are just so many companies in the market who want your application, claiming to offer low rates and easy access to the money, but you' ve heard many stories to the contrary and now you' re confused about what to do for the best. It can also be a worrying time if you, like many thousands of others every month, haven' t got the ready cash available and need to consider taking out a loan, particularly if you' ve never applied for one before. Unsecured loans for tenants and tenant loans are comparatively simple to apply for but it doesn' t mean that everybody that you apply to will say' yes' . How can you be sure that you will get a loan that suits you and your financial circumstances? A loan is still a big commitment and one that you could be paying off over a number of years and the very last thing that you want is to be roped into paying off a lot more of your hard earned every month than you really should be. Well, it's probably right to say that people who apply for unsecured loans for tenants and tenant loans come from all walks of life and with incredibly varied financial circumstances to boot. For instance, someone who has always been fully employed, borrowed minimal amounts over the years and always paid them back on time may require a different lending product than someone who has a more chequered employment history and who has rarely had a loan that hasn' t at some point or other, run into arrears.


There are also many, many lenders out there to choose from but it's also probably fair to say that each one will tend to concentrate their energies on attracting a certain type of profile of customer to meet their specific product range. The level of risk is quite different in this case and as such, if the loan were granted, it may be required to be at a much higher interest rate to compensate. You may however, find that the lenders that they recommend may not be from the one's you' ve heard of on the high street. If you apply for unsecured loans for tenants and tenant loans through a finance broker, then you can be sure that they will assess which might be the best options from the panel of lenders that they have, commensurate with your circumstances and what it is you are looking to achieve with your loan. Is this important however, given that finance brokers have to be regulated by the government and even more so in regards to lenders. For unsecured loans and particularly for tenant loans, it is likely that the lender( s) you may be offered may not be ones that you' ve heard of before but this is only because they are often smaller than the high street banks and specialise in your type of circumstances whereas the banks may not. There is a duty of care to provide the customer with best value under the FSA's all- powerful' treating the customer fairly'statement.


This in itself is nothing to necessarily worry about. Oh, and by the way, happy hunting! Do look at the small print before you sign however and be fully comfortable with the repayments you will be expected to make each month, the amount of interest that you will be paying on your loan and the length of the term of the loan as well and finally, be sure that you know what could happen if you default on your loan even if the circumstances surrounding the default are not of your own making.
