Anyone have any ideas on which bank gives out the biggest loans - ( obviously depenedent on income ).

Went to HSBC and they have said a max personal loan of 250k dhs at 9% is avaialable and am waiting for barclays to see what they give. Any other suggestions on who to go to max out on loans ?

cheers zabone

is this for your car?

Re: Loans
 

no - that's already been sorted !

Re: Loans
 

WTF.. Surely starting off life in a new town with a big loan around your neck isn't the way to go (unless you are on a one way flight out of here as a previous poster suggests).
what are you planning to do with the 300k plus you are hoping to get?

..please don't say a deposit on an apartment/villa purchase

250K at 9% is scary enough. Did they tell you how much interest you would be paying on that?:eek:

Re: Loans
 

But is it 9% on a reducing balance?

Re: Loans
 

for a personal loan - the 9% is slghtly higher than the rates offered in england - though i've not shopped around as yet - would like to think that can get lower ?

Re: Loans
 

good question - i will check

Re: Loans
 

Am trying to find out the the lowest rates for personal loans - ignore the max out part of my first post - i guess it does make it sound a bit gung ho !!

Re: Loans
 

so what are you intending to blow the cash on may I ask?

Re: Loans
 

of course you may ask - but i cannot answer as yet !! - am just trying to find out which banks are worth approaching for the best deals at this stage...cheers
