How borrowing works locally

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.

A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent. Joint applications combine two incomes and two sets of obligations in the same assessment.
