Hot Topics
- If I decide I need a personal loan, which type of lender is best?

- Should I get Personal Loan Payment Protection Insurance?
- When you apply for a loan, you will be asked at the initial stages if you want personal loan insurance to be included in the agreement
- Can I have a fixed rate loan?
- It is entirely up to you if you want a fixed rate or a variable rate loan – however there are some limits to this.
- Can I cancel my loan application if I decide not to go ahead for any reason?
- If you decide you want to cancel your loan application once you have made it, you can do so within a certain period of time set by the loan company.
- I’m self-employed, am I still eligible?
- Self-employed loans used to be difficult to find and expensive. But today, now that more and more people are working for themselves, self-employed loans are widely available and, as interest rates have fallen to their lowest in years, more affordable.
What is a Tenant Loan?
If you are a tenant you do not own your own home. This means that any loan you take out must be a Tenant's Loan and will be unsecured.
There are disadvantages to this in that you will not be able to get such low interest rates or as much collateral as those who put up their home as security have access to. Rather than borrowing up to £100,000 which you can if you own a property, you will only be able to borrow up to £25,000. However there are benefits – the loan will not be tied to your home so if you do have problems repaying, your home will not be directly at risk.
Tenant loans are likely to be unsecured loans and thus the lender will need to be recompensed for the lack of security on the loan by charging higher interest rates. When applying for a tenant loan you will need to have three years accommodation and address details, and three years employment history. If you have moved address or job recently you may have more trouble getting a loan. However there are loan companies that will offer you a loan whatever your situation, so make sure you are honest when making your application and you will be able to get a loan that suits you and your needs.
Risk Warning
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any debt secured on it. Security by way of a charge on your home may be required.
Think carefully before securing other debts to your home.
