Hi everyone
Sorry the info is so sketchy on this but my parents only tell me things in dribs and drabs and then expect some kind of expert info.
To cut a long story short, my parents had to get a loan for €170,000 in a bit of a panic and are using stock/shares (which I don't really know about because they keep their finances private usually) as security. Now they are asking me why the loan agreement has an arrangement fee of €1270 (approx). The loan is with Ulster Bank - does anyone know if this is normal?
The interest rate is already fairly hefty at 4.85% but as they only expect to have the money for a few weeks they weren't overly concerned about this.
Thanks for any help.
Rebecca
