How to compare quotes for home equity loan

Cheapest is not the same as best value for home equity loan. A slightly higher quote with a complete scope and no open-ended extras is often safer than the lowest figure with caveats.

Timing your home equity loan

For home equity loan, same-day and after-hours call-outs sit at the top of the range. A standard appointment booked in advance gives you the best chance of the typical figure.
