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

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?

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
