From the first person I spoke to, Chris, who took me through everything to the amazing case manager Anthony that worked with me to get the application through the service couldn't have been better. Patient and transparent. I'd highly recommend. Miss Young

'Superb professional advice'
Really helpful team. My first enquiry was dealt with in a professional way and nobody was pushy and gave me the time to consider my options. I have now been able to consolidate and get my outgoings back on track. Mr Reynolds

How could a joint loan help?

Below are some common uses of joint loans:

Debt consolidation

Use a loan to repay existing debts and have one single monthly payment to manage instead.

Remember that consolidating debt may mean extending the term of your borrowing and paying more interest overall. 

Home renovations

You can use a home improvement loan to pay for renovating your property – you might even increase your home’s value in the process.

Other large purchases

Loans can be used for multiple purposes, including large or unexpected purchases.

It’s important to remember that any agreed payments need to be maintained throughout the course of the loan.

How do joint loans work?

Joint loans can be taken out with another person, like a spouse or family member.

Each person involved is considered a co-borrower. They are equally responsible for repaying the loan, and both their credit histories and financial information are considered during the application process.

Who can apply for a joint loan?

In order to apply, you must:

•     Be aged 18 or over
•     Have been a UK resident for the last 3 years

For joint secured loans, at least one of you must be the homeowner, and both must reside in the property used to secure the loan. Remember, your home is at risk if you do not keep up with the repayments.

You might be able to borrow more when applying with a partner compared to doing so individually. Lenders may offer more favourable interest rates due to the combined financial strength of both applicants.
