Alternatives to personal loans
If you are a homeowner looking to borrow more than £15,000 you could consider looking into homeowner loans. This type of loan is similar to a mortgage in that it is secured on your home, because of this security lenders are often willing to loan you more.
Argos does offer homeowner loans between £7,500 and £200,000, as with a personal loan this money can be used however you like.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it. If you are at all unsure of the suitability of a particular product for your circumstances you should seek independent financial advice.
Similarly to personal loans Argos is just one lender of many, the diverse ranges of financial products out there mean you should shop around to make sure you get the right loan for you.
If you have been considering taking out a loan to pay for a vocational course you may actually qualify for a ‘Professional and Career Development Loan’
