Hi, we're looking at buying a new caravan prices range between £20,000 & £25,000. What would be the cheapest way to finance it. I have a excellent credit rating.

    What type of Caravan do you want? Static... ?
    :cool:
  • Whats your annual income?

    You may struggled to get an unsecured loan for that amount.
  • Yes we're after a static caravan - new or couple of years old. I am shopping around & hoping to grab a used caravan a couple of years old in ex cond. We have no other loans or credit card debt's at present.

    As others have said, getting an unsecured loan for that much might be tricky - particularly given the loan purpose - which might put a lender off.

    2 ideas:

    1. If you own your own home, take out a small mortgage or further advance to cover it - but you will be putting your home at risk if you cannot keep up payments.

    2. Approach a specialist lender (look in caravan or boating magazines) - a few banks have 'marine finance' divisions for narrowboats etc where the loan is secured on the boat (like a HP car loan) and these can often be extended to caravans and similar.

    Good luck
