What are the benefits of applying with Provira?
Immediate – The opportunity to access funds in just a few days can be hugely beneficial to families and applicants and we pride ourselves on fast decisions and turnaround times.
No personal liability – there are no personal guarantees required or charges over your own home or property. You do not risk losing your home in any outcome, provided that there is no breach of the loan agreement.
Application not affected by income or credit score – your eligibility is not based on your current income, job status or credit score because it is assessed on the overall value and assets of the Estate.
Not penalised if your inheritance is less than expected – if your inheritance is worth less than expected, you are not required to cover the shortfall, provided there is no breach of the loan agreement.
Repayments are rolled up until the end – Our Inheritance Loans are repaid in full when probate is granted and the assets in the Estate are sold or liquidated. There are no monthly repayments that you need to worry about each month.
No early repayment fees – We do not charge any early exit fees if you wish to pay off and close your loan sooner than expected.
