Loan interest rates

Due to an upcoming new purchase, I am in need to borrow another big chunk of money.

Just wondering what others are paying for the privilege of borrowing, including set up fee percentage, for a very secure loan deal.

The last loan I had was 1% over bank base rate. Fantastic when the bank rate went from 7% to 1%.
Unfortunately I can't get close to that now.

Natwest had something on offer 6 mts ago no set up fee or get out fees 3.45% up to £750k needed security I think

Well I thought Farmers borrowed huge amounts of money !?! :scratchhead:

Maybe TFF farmers are the well off ones, especially as not a single one has replied with a definite answer ! :rolleyes:

Therefore next question ............. how much do you want in interest to borrow a six figure sum, all secured against the land I own ? :rolleyes:;)

You need more than security(50%-60% max).At least 3 years strong accounts showing a very good profit,a good cash flow,and a very strong business plan,backed up with a plan B and C,if plan A goes wrong.

The banks have become very risk averse. This has been forced on them by rules imposed to try and avert another banking crisis
They will very strong evidence of the ability to repay. The better the evidence the less interest you will be asked for

how long before you can sell land ? if its less than 3 years and you don't want to borrow the cash stick another application in with slight amendment and get another 3 years ,if they turn it down fall back to original plan. Perhaps you want to crack on with it though
