The short answer
The remaining contract term may affect the loan term or eligibility.
What this means for you
Some lenders, serve government employees and selected employers. Confirm employer coverage before assuming eligibility.
For a government employee, your exact position, income, existing repayments and the lender’s programme rules can affect the outcome. Check the complete offer and ask the lender to explain anything you do not understand before accepting credit.
