At the grabber we know finance is full of confusing terms and phrases, and so on this page we explain:
Tenant Loan | Term | Tracker Rate Mortgage

Tenant Loan

A tenant loan or "unsecured loan" is personal finance which is borrowed and then repaid over a set term. The tenant loan is not secured upon any property making it suitable for visitors who do not own a property. People who are suitable for applying for tenant loans include people living at home, council tenants or private property renters.
The tenant loans term is the period of time over which the finance is taken out and then repaid. Many tenant loans come established with set term periods, with higher monthly repayments for shorter terms and lower repayments for longer terms.
The repayments on a tenant loan are calculated using several different criteria and factors. Along with the amount lent the lenders charge interest on the loan, this is shown as the loans APR. With the capital and the APR, lenders also charge administration fees and arrangement charges.
Taking in all the fees, charges and with the credit rating of the borrower, the lender calculates the overall cost of the tenant loan then divides this by the loans term. This is then presented to the borrower as the monthly repayment amount.
If you want finance but don't own your home the Grabbers has a  tenant loan section.

Term

The term is the period of time over which finance borrowed is to be repaid. Many finance products come established with pre-set terms already arranged however other lengths of terms may be available subject to the applicants individual circumstances and with the consent of the lender.

Tracker Rate Mortgage

A tracker rate mortgage follow the movements in the base interest rate. A tracker's rate is tied to it and so always follows it precisely. With the mortgage lenders rate on top customers can expect a rate one or two per cent above the base rate, subject to the mortgage contract or agreement.
With a tracker rate mortgage the mortgage contract or agreement decides the rate changes and by how much it changes, usually rates increase in line with any rise and decrease in line with any cut in the base interest rate.
If you are after property information the Grabber has a mortgage section.

Got a piece of jargon you want explaining, it's time to let The Grabber loose.
