A UK loan is generally comprised of two main components: the APR and the security
that is required. Both factors will be of keen importance to you when choosing
the right loan for your needs.
APR stands for 'annual percentage rate' and is representative of the total
fee that you will be charged on your loan, above the total amount you have borrowed,
comprising both the interest rate and any additional fees. APR is charged on a
loan in one of two ways, as either a variable or fixed rate. Variable rates are
subject to change and will fluctuate in line with market changes. Fixed rates
will remain at a pre-determined level for the term of the loan, but note that
they usually start off at a higher rate.
In addition to this, loans are also arranged so that they are either secured
or unsecured. Secured loans have property set against them as a condition; this
property stands as security for the loan provider and will be at risk if you are
unable to repay the loan as required. Unsecured loans are not tied to anything
but this freedom generally means higher interest rates.
