Wish to get a loan

Hi
All suggestion welcome

I have a plan to get a £10,000 pond loan for some personal use from my bank lloyds tsb.Bank offer me loan for the period of 1year, 3year, and 5year. lets assume i would go for 3year so monthly payment lets assume £200. After 3 month if i will return £7000 will bank reduce my monthly payment and after that interest would be on remaining amount which i own at that moment or still it would be on the whole amount?

Any better solution please let me know

    Yes if you settle a LloydsTSB loan early you will get a rebate of some of the interest.

    £10000 for a pond though!!!

    Your monthly repayments will stay the same though the term will be vastly reduced.

    If you're going to be able to get your hands on £7,000 in 3 months, why not wait to get your pond. If you wait for 3 months, you can save up the £200 each month and then borrow the money and immediately pay off £7,600 saving 3 months worth of interest.

    Or you could get a smaller pond, perhaps only costing £7,500 - if I was spending that much though, I think I'd want a lake rather than a pond.

    OP your original post has a Typo in it, it says pond rather than pound, so people have assumed the loan is for a pond, well not assumed but taken comedic licence.

    I know:rotfl:, but the advice of waiting 3 months still holds - why pay 3 months interest when you don't need to.

    i would go for 3year so monthly payment lets assume £200.


    £200 per month repayment over 3 years works out at £7,200 so your assumption you could get a loan of £10,000 for those repayments is way off the mark.
