Secured
& Unsecured Personal Loans
If you are thinking of
taking out a secured loan you'll need to make sure you check the
terms and conditions of the respective loan companies. The
principle of a secured loan is that the debt is secured against an
asset of a value at least equal to that of the loan, typically a
property, but in some circumstances a loan can sometime be secured
against other assets.
Many of the leading
retailers also offer unsecured loan products. An unsecured loan is
a loan where a charge is not made against any asset.
For both secured and
unsecured loans you may wish to consider loan repayment
protection. This is a form of insurance taken out that covers your
payments if you are unable to work either due to an accident,
sickness or unemployment. These policies also generally offer some
life cover. However if you are going to take out a loan with
payment protect you will need to calculate your repayments
including the insurance premium; it can make a significant difference to the
overall cost.
To get the best loan
deal you'll need to shop around and take into account all the
factors that will influence the total repayment cost. For example:
Total amount
borrowed
Total loan period
Loan protection
costs
Any penalties for
early repayment
Penalties for late
payment
Any other terms
