Lendstart Is Helping Customers Choose the Best Personal Loans

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Tel Aviv, Israel–(Newsfile Corp. – December 7, 2021) – Personal loans can be complex and confusing, but Lendstart is changing the process and helping their clients bypass the tedious process. There are several factors that go into creating a personal loan, and you need to make sure that you are selecting one that is just right for you. Here are some of the factors that you need to consider when selecting a loan.

The Amount You Get

“Obviously, you need to think about how much you want to get from the loan. Each loan will offer a different amount of money. You might be able to find ones for £1000, but there might also be offers for £1500 and even more,” explains a representative from Lendstart.

Though it is not the same as a personal loan, a mortgage offers marginally higher loans with lower interests to compete with rising house prices. However, mortgage advisors are often assigned to clients to help them pick out the best loans but the same luxury is not afforded to those opting for a personal loan.

Extensive research is required for those who are looking at personal loans. Two personal loans may offer the same amount of money, but the terms and conditions of the two could not be more different.

“It’s easy to know how much money you’re getting but close attention should be given to its terms and conditions,” a Lendstart representative said.

APR

One of the most important factors lenders need to pay attention to when choosing a personal loan is the APR, or annual percentage rate. It is one of the most important factors when one is comparing the best personal loans. This is a yearly sum of interest that applies to the loan, and the lender will have to pay it on top of what the repayment is set at.

When asked to elaborate, the rep from Lendstart explains, “As an example, you might take out a loan of £500 with an APR of 10%. This means that interest worth 10% of the loan (in other words, £50) will be charged each year. There are certain levels of APR that are good, and others that are bad. For a personal loan, you should try to find as low an APR as possible.”

The APR rate has to be disclosed by the lender before the deal is closed. They will also then announce the total amount that the lender is expected to pay back on top of the loan. Some loans will come with a fixed APR rate, so they won’t change over a certain length of time, such as eighteen months, while others will have flexible APRs that you need to monitor as you make your repayments. Some loans might have changing APRs, but they will also offer a maximum APR rate that it could rise to.

Repayment Terms

According to the personal loan advisors at Lendstart, “Never accept a personal loan if you do not know what the repayment terms are. You will always be given them when you apply for the loan, and you need to stick to them. There are two important subfactors to pay attention to here. The first is how much you are expected to pay back as repayments. Most loans will come with a fixed minimum payment that you have to make. You can sometimes negotiate with the lender to pay the loan back at a higher rate if you would prefer, but you will always have a fixed minimum payment level.”

The other factor is the length of the repayment period. Every loan will have a maximum length of time in which the lender will need to pay the loan back in, and failure to do so may incur additional charges, as detailed below. For personal loans, this can be up to seven years, but every loan is different.

You need to make sure that you stick to the repayment terms closely. If you fail to make a repayment, you run the risk of defaulting on the loan. This is something that you need to pay attention to closely, so you should make sure you talk through the repayment terms with your lender.

There are several factors that you need to watch for with a personal loan. Though you need to pay close attention to what you are getting and the repayment terms, one of the most important parts by far is your APR rate. Never accept a loan unless you understand the terms behind it and Lendstart is helping clients understand and pick the right loan for their needs.
