Pros and cons

Pros

  • A lower starting rate. Its comparison rate starts at 6.29%, below the typical 7.99%, and the comparison rate counts the standard fees too, so it's a fair guide to a lower overall cost.
  • No monthly fee. The cost doesn't creep up the longer you take to repay.
  • A fixed rate. Your repayments stay the same for the whole loan, which makes it easier to budget.
  • Extra repayments. Paying more than the minimum pays the loan off sooner and cuts the interest you pay.
  • Redraw. You can take back extra repayments later if you need the money.

Cons

  • Your rate isn't known until you apply. It's set by your credit history and finances, anywhere from 6.29% to 7.29%, and only some people get the starting rate.
  • Secured against an asset. That usually keeps the rate down, but the lender can take the asset if you can't repay.
  • An early repayment fee. Paying the loan off early or refinancing can cost a fee, which cuts into what you save by repaying sooner.
