Hello, we have recently (within the last week) borrowed extra on our existing loan. We did this to ensure quick release of funds. We researched othr loans and we can get cheaper repayment, as long as we qualify. Is it worth paying off our existing loan so soon, or do you think we would be penalised / Hope this makes sense !

  • What are the terms and conditions of your existing loan?
    Is it unsecured or secured - if secured are you tied in?
    Have you paid a early settlement fee now when you borrowed extra?

    So many questions - we can't advice you because you have not provided enough information.
  • ok will look into these pointers and return if if more help required, thanks .

    Most lenders will charge 1-2 months interest as an early settlement penalty.
