    Apply for a loan and see what you are offered is the only realistic answer.

    The Experian score, whilst an indication of overall creditworthiness, is largely meaningless in the real world.

    There is loads of articles on this site about the 'score' Not all good though. Each lender have there own credit score and really this score(CRA's) does not mean too much. You need to look at your own credit file and see if you have any missed payments and things like how much credit you are using etc. Some people have a score of 999 and still get refused as they may have to much credit for example.
