Hello everyone,

Need a little advice here! I've found what I believe is a really good way to get onto the housing market (im 23 and living at home!). The problem is I need a 50,000 loan (I can't get a morgage for the purpose i need). Ive been told i need a commerical loan over 10 years (although I will pay it back in full over 5 max).

Wheres the best places too look for such a loan?
Cheers

    Is it possible to get an unsecured £50,000 loan? I would doubt it (too much risk involved for the lender). I would say you have to get a mortgage - are mum and dad helpful enough to got one for you?

    EDIT: what is your really good way to get on the housing market?
