The most common reason for getting a loan is to buy a car. Not many people have £10,000 or more sat in the bank so when buying a new car, it is extremely common to get a loan.

Or maybe you want to build a swimming pool in your back garden. The loan company will ask you why you want the loan in the first instance, and basically it is entirely up to you.
