When can a £10,000 loan help?
A £10,000 personal loan can help with a variety of things. Many people borrow £10,000 to:
- Pay for their wedding: The costs of weddings in the UK continue to increase, so £10,000 could really help.
- Make home improvements: £10,000 could secure a new kitchen, bathroom or go towards a house extension.
- Buy a car: A £10,000 car loan can buy or go towards your new car.
- Consolidate debt: Borrowing £10,000 can help you consolidate multiple smaller debts into one debt with one monthly repayment. Just remember that, by consolidating, you may extend the term of your debt and increase the total amount you repay.
Types of Loans
- Unsecured personal loans (we offer access to these at Asda Money)
-
- Usually a small, fixed rate loan for personal use
- For amounts between £1,000 and £25,000
- The amount you can borrow and the rate you see is based on things like your personal circumstances and credit score
- Secured personal loans also known as homeowner loans (we don’t offer access to this type of loan)
-
- Typically sums over £15,000 and repaid over longer periods of 5-30 years
- What you can borrow and the interest rate depends on your credit history, your assets and personal circumstances
- When you borrow with a secured loan, lenders want security in the form of an asset, usually your home. This can be repossessed if you don’t keep up your payments on any debt secured against it.
- Guarantor loans (not offered with Asda Money)
-
Guarantor loans may be offered by some lenders if you have bad credit. Guarantor loans work by asking a friend or family member to guarantee that they will pay back the loan if you can’t afford to do so. Tread carefully with guarantor loans, as although you get access to the money they can put significant financial pressure on your friends or family.
How much will a £10,000 loan cost?
How much a £10,000 loan costs you depends on a few factors.
You need to be aware of the interest you pay when you take out a loan. The interest rate or APR is decided by each lender. The rate they offer you will depend on your financial viability for borrowing. Lenders use your credit rating and financial history to understand this. The higher the interest rate, the higher amount you will have to pay over the course of your loan.
The length of your loan also affects the overall cost. By selecting a longer term to pay off your loan, your monthly payments will be smaller. But you’ll pay interest over a longer time, which will cost you more in the long run. So, a £10,000 loan over 5 years could be more expensive than a £10,000 over 3 years.
£10,000 loans with bad credit
Money problems or debt in your past may have left you with a poor credit rating. £10,000 loans with bad credit are available, but there will be a smaller pool of lenders willing to lend to you.
You will likely have to pay higher interest rates too.
In some cases, you may not be able to borrow the full £10,000. For larger sums, you can look into secured loans against your home or guarantor loans, where a friend or family member with better credit agrees to be liable for the sum if you can’t pay it back.
Will a £10,000 loan affect my credit score?
When you complete an eligibility check for a £10,000 personal loan with Asda Money it doesn’t affect your credit score. We provide you with access to a panel of trusted lenders by performing an initial soft search. You see all the available lenders for your circumstances with only a soft search registered on your credit file which doesn’t affect your ability to gain credit.
If you decide to apply for one of the offers from a particular lender, that lender could then complete a hard credit search. This search will show up on your credit file.
Alternatives to a £10,000 loan
Rather than simply checking your eligibility for a £10,000 loan you may consider a specific loan that is more tailored to your circumstances. For example, a debt consolidation loan if you have a number of debts.
To borrow smaller sums, a credit card is another option to consider.
