Someone on the OAA forums said they talked to Natwest and were able to get £75,000 secured loan and up to £20,000 for a type rating if given a job offer. Same terms as HSBC.. 6 months after coruse completion to pay it back, 3.25% interest rate if you have a bank accoutn with them etc. Also think some chap mentioned RBS would do them a loan of a similiar amount.
I'm also thinking of this - but a lesser amount - it would silly to take a £75k loan - do the maths and you'll see.
samee380 - don't put your doing A-Levels on here
the usual bunch are just waiting to give you a lecture on how people of the same age group are immature, slackers, leechers, should work for years and pay it all yourself etc!
EK4457 - playing with life savings?? err don't think so.. HSBC won't give you it unless you can prove you can earn £20k p/a if everything goes tits up.
Do you really think a bank manager would just give a £80k loan to a 18/19 year old?? thats what it looks like you're saying.
