Income is an important factor alongside credit history / credit score in any loan enquiry.

If you have a different / better credit rating than your partner then one applicant may be better.

How To Finance A Wedding

In an ideal world no one would want to borrow money towards the cost of getting married, but in todays `must have it now` society it can be considered as a necessary evil! Here at my sort of loan the lenders on our panel will consider loans from £7,500 ranging up to £200,000.

The larger loans being a secured loan means the repayment term can be spread up to 25yrs allowing the repayments to suit most people’s budget, Although it’s worth pointing out here at my sort of loan our experienced loan advisers will go through an income and affordability assessment to make sure you don`t bite off more than you can chew…take a look at your income and expenditure and work out what you can really afford to pay, then keep within your budget.

Of course you may want to consider your bank or building society when looking for your wedding loan. However, it’s worth remembering some high street lenders will offer loans based on “risk based credit scoring” meaning the rates offered on marketing literature may not be the rates you end up with. If you do indeed find that this is the case when you apply to them - then it may be worth making a no obligation enquiry with my sort of loan just to make sure you get the best deal available.

To fund the occasion you have plenty of options:

  • Use your savings
    This may be the best option and will save money in the long run in interest charges but remember all that rainy day / safety net pot money may go.

  • Start saving or borrow from family
    Again a good option, however it depends on how long it will take to you to save the large amount of money needed and if you have some joint / single saving you can lump together. Otherwise a helpful family member who can loan you the money to get you sorted.

  • Take out a wedding loan
    You may want to consider taking out a personal unsecured loan or a homeowner secured loan or a second mortgage loan - the major benefit is you don’t have to wait, you may even want to roll the cost of the honeymoon into it. Down side of course is loans will cost you interest.

 
 

Finding The Best Wedding Loan

By using this method of quoting it will not be seen by any other lender until such time as you decide to go ahead and your loan completes.

 
 

Top Tips To Obtain Your Wedding Loan

  • When making your application for a wedding loan it’s as well to check your credit file. We can help you with where and how to do this. There are many credit bureau’s one of the most well-known is Equifax by following the simple online process you can quickly establish if you have a good or bad credit profile and what your score is. We can go through your record with you and match you to the most suitable loan we have for you.

  • It may be worthwhile to think about using your wedding loan to pay off other credit you may have such as overdraft, car HP and other unsecured loans. By incorporating this debt into your wedding loan your monthly outlay may be reduced however, its worth pointing out that by extending the loan term you will repay more interest.

 
 

Wedding Holiday Honeymoon

A honey moon is often an essential ingredient to compliment your wedding, it also enables you to escape with your spouse and leave the day to day trials and tribulations of life behind you. My sort of loans wedding loan funds are paid directly to you so you can decide where you want to go for your honeymoon holiday, for how long and who you would like to take. Some clients may opt for a UK or European holiday for the whole family, others may honeymoon on holiday in the Caribbean, United States, Australia or elsewhere on their own.

We don`t believe the days of holding your reception in the local village hall are well and truly gone but times have changed and wedding finance costs are therefore on the rise. Thankfully most won’t cost as much as Pippa Middletons wedding in 2017 that reportedly cost £250,000, if the costs are that high some parental help may be really useful.
