I,m thinking of buying my council house, I,m thinking a need to borrow £25,000, I,m 53 and looking to pay either back after 10 years, but which would I be better with , loan/mortgage

Loan could work out cheaper as there won't be any fees, valuation etc but you'll need to do the sums. Loan should also be fixed for the period

You'll probably need a secured loan (ie effectively mortgage) as most, if not all, personal loans won't lend for property.

However, the amount is very small for most lenders.
