Term Assurance

Term assurance is a life assurance policy that is valid for a fixed term.  If the term assurance is taken out in connection with a mortgage or loan, the term is usually set to be the same as the term of the loan.  Term assurance policies pay out on the death of the insured person, or the first death of the two insured persons, if the death occurred during the term of assurance.

A "tracker rate" refers to a variable interest rate that varies in line with changes to the Bank of England base rate. During the tracker rate period, any changes to the Bank of England base rate are passed on to you in full, which means that the interest rate can quickly go up or down depending on the base rate in place at the time.

APR Message

The overall cost for comparison is 10.8% APR variable. The actual rate will depend upon your circumstances. Ask for a personalised illustration. Our rates start from 7.9% APR variable. We also have a range of plans with rates up to 17.5% APR allowing us to help customers even with the most severe credit problems. If you are thinking of consolidating existing borrowing you should be aware that you will be extending the terms of the debt and increasing the total amount you repay. A fee of between 0% and 10% of the loan may be charged depending on credit history and ability to prove income. The amount of fee will depend on your circumstances, however, we estimate that it will be 5% of the loan amount.
