You've had your eye on something for ages but you've been wrestling with how to get the finance to afford to buy it, right? It's so tempting to go ahead and make your purchase but you can't get away from it, the finance issue will need to be solved sooner or later.

If only you owned your own home, it would be much easier to find a lender willing to lend you the money, but when you're a tenant it's going to be much more difficult to get things under way. The truth is, that whilst there's no denying that homeowners often have more options available when they are looking to raise some money, there's no rule that says tenants can't get a loan. The question is, what's going to give you the best chance of success and at a rate that you're going to be comfortable with?

Unsecured loans for tenants and tenant loans are typically for amounts between £500 and £15,000 and are therefore perfect for many special purchases. Whether it be for a car, a holiday or a present for yourself or a loved one, as long as it was not for business purposes, most lenders would be happy to consider the application.

Aside from the value of the loan amount being ideal in many cases for this kind of purchase, there are other advantages of unsecured loans for tenants and tenant loans. Firstly, unlike secured loans, you will not be required to have an independent valuation done on your property. This means that the loan application is in many instances, shortened considerably. Secondly, by not requiring a valuation, your costs of acquiring the loan finance will also be reduced and you will not need to worry about whether the valuation is in line with what you were hoping for in order to provide the level of equity in your property that the lender may have stipulated in order to approve your loan application.

As already mentioned, your lender will need to be assured in most cases that you will not want to use the money for business purposes as there are generally specific rules that come in to play with regards to commercial loans and mortgages. These aside, you can use the loan for just about any other personal use however, you will need to take account of your financial circumstances before applying for your loan. Since the lender cannot guarantee their loan to you on your property, they will almost certainly want to make sure by other means available that you will be in a position to afford the repayments and have demonstrated by your actions in the past that you are going to be likely not to run in to arrears or to default.

They will run a credit search on you and determine from this what kind of risk they might assess you to be. This is where a finance broker can be very useful in that they may have access to a wide range of lenders who may each specialise in a different set of financial circumstances. If you miss the criteria for one, you may be perfect for another. This will potentially save you a lot of time and hassle.

Unsecured loans for tenants and tenant loans can be ideal for providing the finance for that something special. Give it a whirl and see what you could do with the money.
