If the relative was to borrow at the best advertised loan rates, this would only cost them £6 or £7 a month more than the arrangement with you.
@1.5000% 214.78
@2.8525% 220.69
@3.2511% 222.45
That's about two cans of beer at home instead of in the pub
And why compare to Santander, when you can find 2.5 to 5% elsewhere for some of this?
@2.5% 219.14
Exactly. Far better to let the professionals give loans.

If only we had a £ for every time we'd read about it all going Pete Tong, eh!!How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.56% of current retirement "pot" (as at end January 2025)0 -
A relative still owes my partner £15,000! Because he's family the borrower thinks he can just ignore it and continue to take the mick!If you want to be rich, live like you're poor; if you want to be poor, live like you're rich.0
