Owning your own property demonstrates your commitment to paying back money over a long period of time. This alone is a very good indicator of the type of person you are but it obviously provides a credit history, which can be verified.

The average percentage rate or APR for short. This rate allows you to compare each loan including all the lenders costs such as legal fees etc.

Check to see if the loan is going to be secured or unsecured, don't assume they are all going to offer you the same.

See if the rate is variable or fixed. Smaller loans are more likely to be fixed and the larger the loan the more likely it will be variable.

Make sure you understand what will happen if you settle your loan early, many lenders charge some sort of cost for closing your account early. It's not necessarily a thing to be worried about, it's just the lenders way of making sure their not out of pocket.

There are also a number of banks that now offer redemption free loans and you will not have to pay any kind of penalty at all.

Use the links on the right to compare different rates and quotes online before making your application. And then remember to ask the other important questions if you did not find the on the lenders website.
