Driving in Birkenhead
Across the water and down the peninsula.
Birkenhead faces Liverpool across the Mersey, with Hamilton Square's terraces and Birkenhead Park, which inspired New York's Central Park. The Queensway Tunnel takes you into the city, and the M53 runs down the Wirral towards Ellesmere Port and Chester.
Many people here cross the river for work or head south along the peninsula, and the quickest way is often by road. If you own your vehicle outright, you can borrow against it, keep driving it, and carry on with work, family and the trips in between.
How it works in Birkenhead
No need to cross the river.
There is no branch to travel to, and you do not need to go into Liverpool. Fill in the application online at any time. An underwriter usually calls within 2 working hours to go through it with you and answer your questions.
A signing agent usually visits within 3 working hours of approval to witness the Bill of Sale and photograph you with the vehicle. Most loans are complete within 24 working hours, with the money paid by bank transfer.
What you can borrow against
Cars, vans and motorbikes you own.
We lend against cars, vans and motorbikes that are yours, free of finance, and insured and taxed. Cars under 15 years old are more likely to be accepted.
The amount depends on your vehicle's value and what you can afford to repay, from £1,000 to £50,000, not on where you live on the Wirral. Your car may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a loan secured against it.
If you fall behind
Tell us as early as you can. We will work with you on a payment arrangement or a reduced repayment plan. Repossession is only ever a last resort.
Your car may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a loan secured against it.
Questions from Birkenhead drivers
How quickly could I get the money?
Apply online at any time. An underwriter usually calls within 2 working hours, and the whole process is usually complete within 24 working hours. The money comes by bank transfer.
Will getting a quote affect my credit score?
No. Your quote uses a soft search, which does not affect your credit score. We only look more closely once you decide to go ahead.
Do you lend in Wallasey, Bebington and the rest of the Wirral?
Yes. We lend right across the Wirral, Merseyside and the rest of the UK. You apply online and speak to us by phone, and a signing agent visits you.
Can I settle my loan early?
Yes. You can settle early at any time and get a rebate on interest. Call us on 01924 221854, Monday to Friday, 9am to 7pm, if you would like to talk it through.
