How can I find the best personal loan rates in London and do lenders charge more based on where I live?

A PoundWise Team Answered by

Personal loan rates in London are generally based on your credit history, income, affordability, loan amount and term rather than your postcode alone. Compare the APR, total amount repayable, fees and whether the rate is representative, as not every applicant receives the advertised rate. Using an eligibility checker can show likely offers without making a full application that may leave a hard search on your credit file. Check that the lender is authorised by the FCA and consider independent guidance if you are unsure whether borrowing is affordable.
