Pros and cons

Pros

  • A lower starting rate. Its comparison rate starts at 5.95%, below the typical 8.63%, and the comparison rate counts the standard fees too, so it's a fair guide to a lower overall cost.
  • No setup fee. Nothing is added to the loan on day one, so you only pay interest on what you borrow.
  • 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.

Cons

  • Your rate isn't known until you apply. It's set by your credit history and finances, anywhere from 5.95% to 16.25%, 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.
