What is a Home Improvement Loan?
A home improvement loan is a loan designed for funding any renovations or improvements that you are planning on making to your home. Home improvement loans can come in the forms of secured and personal loans. Personal home improvement loans are usually short term (1-5 years), are for smaller home improvement projects and are usually specifically designed and tailored for home improvement projects. Secured home improvement loans on the other hand usually have a longer repayment period, allow you to borrow larger amounts and can be used for pretty much any purpose.
How home improvement loan rates work?
The interest rates on home improvement loans are firstly likely to vary depending on whether you select a secured or personal home improvement loan. Although secured home improvement loans usually offer more attractive monthly repayment rates, you could end up paying more over time as the interest rates accrue over a longer period.
The rates you received are also likely to vary depending on which lender you use. Whilst it is important to shop around yourself, it’s also advisable to use an independent broker website such as ours, to compare a wider range of lenders.
It is also worth noting that the amount you are likely able to borrow, the rate of interest you will pay and the length of the loan term is likely to depend on your personal circumstances, market conditions and the value of your property. Additionally, when setting a rate for your secured loan, lenders typically tend to take into account your credit score. Despite this, lenders of home improvement loans are usually sympathetic towards borrowers with poor credit scores because the loan is secured against your home.
