I would so highly recommend. It’s been a huge relief to deal with a company that really does have ‘heart and mind’. Being a landlord can often mean having to jump through hoops when borrowing money an... See more

Update: it appears that getting a loan with Lendology makes it impossible to remortgage your property because of the title restriction they place on your property. My mortgage broker can’t find a mort... See more

“Never a lender nor a borrower be” has…

“Never a lender nor a borrower be” has always been my mantra, so the idea of a loan beyond a mortgage has always filled me with great anxiety. However, when I needed to borrow some cash to invest in a smart and sustainable heating system, I was so grateful to discover Lendology CIC. Really lovely and helpful advisors who guided me through every step of the process, and the approval of a low interest loan, has put my mind at rest about borrowing, particularly as there are no fees for early repayment. I can highly recommend Lendology CIC, if you need a loan for home improvements. Thank you 🙏🏻

Incredibly helpful and friendly staff

Incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Totally different experience to dealing with a large bank. Staff were very down to earth and made me feel at ease. They were very understanding of our situation. I cannot rate them highly enough.

Thank you to Lendology

Thank you to Lendology - they lent me money to fix my urgent drainage problem, and then again when my boiler broke. They really saved the day and were always helpful, & friendly to deal with. They really seemed to care and went that extra mile to help me out. Thank you so much to Lendology - it's a great service.
