How borrowing works locally

A lender may ask for proof of address, and a permanent address is a standard requirement for consumer credit.

Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation. A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.
