Personal loans are a sum of money you can borrow from a lender or a broker. They usually range from £1,000 to £25,000 and you are able to borrow them for up to 6 years with monthly repayments. Hence the name, personal loans can be spent on anything you feel is necessary. Whether this be for a holiday, cosmetic surgery or even debt consolidation.
