Choosing to work with an adviser for your personal or car loan means you can find the right loan for your situation and goal. A bank or lender will have a limited selection and it may not be quite right for you, or as competitive as it could be. There could also be other options available such as refinancing your home loan, and your adviser can do the calculations on your behalf.
A personal loan is a good way to get the extra funds you need. There are two types of personal loans – secured and unsecured.
Secured loans generally offer lower interest rates than unsecured loans, but you must put up something for collateral, like your house, your car or your boat. If you don’t pay off the loan, you can lose that collateral, so make sure you know all the conditions before you choose a secured loan. Unsecured loans are commonly known as ‘signature’ loans – the lender will approve the funds with just your signature, but you might end up paying higher interest for the privilege.
One of the key questions you need to ask yourself before you take out a personal loan is whether you’ll go secured or unsecured. Even though you could probably get more money and a lower interest rate with a secured loan, you need to weigh up the risk of having an asset as security. Your Loan Market adviser will talk you through the options and, based on your financial situation and needs, recommend competitive loan options for you.
It’s a good idea to talk to your mortgage adviser about the options available to you – there might be more than you think. Your Loan Market adviser can help you:
Each situation is different, so there is no one answer. Your Loan Market adviser can evaluate your situation to determine whether you could still be eligible for a personal or car loan. Alternatively, they can help you devise a plan to improve your credit to a point where you can get an appropriate loan.
