Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. 

Buying a home

We could help you understand how much you may be able to borrow, and what a mortgage could cost. Over 18s only.

What to do next:

 Our mortgage calculator will tell you how much you could borrow

 Compare our mortgages to find the one for you 

 Receive a Agreement in Principle to show agents and sellers that you have your finances in order

Extending the term of your debt can incur more interest and cost more in the long run, and sometimes an Early Repayment Charge may apply 

Debt consolidation

Whether your debts are store cards, credit cards or personal loans, you could make your finances more manageable by combining them into a single monthly payment.

What to do next:

 Make sure you have a list of all your debts

Here’s some helpful information about different types of borrowing 

Overdraft

An overdraft is often used as a short-term safety net. It's a set limit that can be used (at a cost).

Arranged Overdrafts are only available to eligible customers with a Ednites Credit Union current account, aged 18 or over.

Credit cards

Credit cards could be helpful if you prefer to keep your everyday expenses separate from your current account.

To apply you need to be resident, aged over 18 and earn at least £10,000.

Personal loan

A personal loan from Ednites Credit Union lets you borrow between £1,000 and £50,000 and you’ll know how long it will take to repay and how much it will cost you each month.

To apply, you must be 18+ and a resident with either a Ednites Credit Union current account (held for 3+ months), credit card or mortgage (held for 6+ months).
