When you search for a loan with MoneySuperMarket we’ll use a soft search to find the best deals for you. This will give you an idea of the loans you could be eligible for – and your chances of getting each deal. Searching in this way won’t harm your credit score but it can give you a good idea of your eligibility.
Whether or not you’re eligible for a £20,000 loan will depend on a range of factors including your credit history and score, your income and your outgoings. You’re likely to have a better chance of getting a loan if you have a high credit score.
APR stands for annual percentage rate, and it basically means the interest rate at which you’ll pay back the £10,000. It includes the main interest rate of the loan, but also takes any other fees and charges into account so you get a better picture of the loan’s total cost.
When you see a representative APR advertised on a loan, it means this rate must be offered to at least 51% of applicants – you won’t be guaranteed to get this rate yourself, as this will be based on your personal circumstances.
A soft search is how we find out where you stand in terms of getting a loan without affecting your credit report, so you can find a loan you’ll be eligible for without damaging your chances of being successful when you apply.
For an unsecured personal loan of £20,000 you’re likely to need a strong credit score to be eligible. Other loan options could be available if your credit score is lower, such as secured loans, but you may not be able to borrow as much as £20,000.
If you think you may want to pay off your £20,000 loan early find out what early repayment penalties apply on the loan before you take it out. Most loans apply an early repayment charge, but they can vary – and some loans may not impose a charge.
When you take out a secured loan you must put up a valuable asset, usually your home, as security against the debt. This means if you struggle to repay your home is at risk as the lender can force a sale of the property to recoup its losses. In contrast, with an unsecured loan you don’t need to put up any collateral or asset as security on your borrowing.
