Secured Loan Advice Needed

Hi,

If I was to take a loan for £22,000 over 18 years but repaid it within 6 months, what would the charges for early repayment be?

Am I right in thinking approx. two months repayments plus an admin fee for early repayment?

Hope somebody can help.

Regards

  • That's pretty much it.

    It's hard to find anywhere that quotes what their admin/early settlement fee will be though.

  • Thanks for that,

    I want to consolidate some debts now but I cannot remortgage until April next year due to early repayment charges. That is the reason for the question.

    Thank you.

    It would entirely depend on the terms and conditions of the loan.
    If you were to have a special deal locking you in for so many years then the early repayment charge could be a lot more than 2 months interest and an admin charge.
  • USUALLY, loans under 25,500 early repayment penalty charges are one months interest plus an admin fee PLUS the total broker fee if you used one! many people forget about the broker fee, its included in the payment of the loan but if you pay off earlier than the agreed date you will have to pay it in full
  • Thanks guys,

    Dealing direct so no broker fees. I think this is my cheapest way to consolidate in the short term.

    Thanks once again.
