Flexible Loan?

I am looking to borrow £17k over 6 years, and am absolutely confident of my ability to pay it off over that period without worries.
However I may want to pay it off sooner, not just with a single lump sum payment, but by over-paying for a longer period.
I have seen that Yorkshire Bank don't have early payment penalties for repayments, but will this allow me to regularly over-pay?
Or is there a better way to do it?!
My credit rating is rock solid (999), home owner but do not want to secure it on the house or the (frivolous) purchase I intend to make.
I used to have a Cahoot Flexi loan, and this appears to be the sort of thing I am looking for.
I may just stooze / card tart some of it, but I am looking for the easiest option too....

So you intend lying when you declare the purpose of the loan?
You'll have to give a good answer to account for £17k of expenditure on an unsecured basis.
While you may be confident in your ability to repay. Don't expect a lender to be so frivoulous.
The lender will apply criteria on your ability to repay the loan, likelihood of default, affordability, so your published score has no relevance.0 -
your ability to repay is rock solid (so no possibility of illness, redundancy, family illness, starting a family etc) then why not have a secured loan (mortgage increase) ...absolutely no risk after all0
