Hi guys,
Just wondered if you helpful people would point me to a best loan for 5k. We have an o/draft of 5k since we moved house last year, and now want to clear it with a loan. We can afford (just about) £100 month to do it. (looking at over 5 years roughly...) The halifax looks good, but wondered if you have any really good -personal- advice or experience with them... or any one else you would recommend. We have our own home and reasonable / steady income. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thank you! :wave:

  • Hello

    What % rate is your o/draft at?

    Would you be better off reducing you o/draft by £100 a month; - reducing outgoings to maybe further this? In this case, you would be o/draft free in 4 years 2 months - 10 months soon than 5 year loan.
