Low Fees Mean Cheap Loans

Low fees does not guarantee a cheap loan as each loan option has a different monthly rate. The monthly rate is the real value that calculated the APR. The key is to find the lowest rate in the range of loans available to you. In order to do this ask for quotes for different loan amounts and different terms. A loan for £20,000 might be on a different rate than £20,001.

When you get a loan you have to remember that you might not be able to go directly to the Lender. Unlike lenders like the defunct First Plus most secured loan lenders will only deal with "Master Brokers" like Class Finance. Master Brokers find and package the secured loan on behalf of the client. The master brokers will pay all the fees for property valuations and BSQ etc and hopes to get this money back when the loan completes. The broker will increase their own broker fee to an amount that also gives them some profit. This normally outlines at 15% of the loan amount. This means that a £10,000 loan will have a broker fee of £15,000 however Class Finance try to reduce this figure to 10%. When dealing will a secured loan master broker talk to your underwrite and see if there is any movement on this fee.
