How borrowing works locally

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one.

A longer amortisation lowers each payment and raises the total interest paid over the life of the loan. A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file.
