There’s always some sort of cost involved in home improvements and a home improvement loan is one easy way to pay for it. Whether it’s just a few pounds on some tins of paint or many thousands for a double storey extension, one thing is clear – know how much you can afford before you start.
Nothing looks worse than an unfinished improvement project and you’ll either have to live with it, or do some good explaining to potential buyers. So it’s important to be clear at the outset about how much you are prepared to spend on the different aspects of your project and what sort of home improvement loan is right for you. In an ideal world you’d set a budget for your project and stick to it, but in many cases, budgets overrun so you’d be wise to set aside a contingency fund (minimum of 10%), just in case.
Should you need to raise some finance from an outside source, there are a number of options you could explore. One of the most popular is to go for a home improvement loan that can further advance on your mortgage, which enables you to borrow money, secured on the value in your property (equity). But pay it off at a lower rate and over a longer period than most unsecured home improvement loan would offer. To find out more click here and one of our agents will be glad to help.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or other home improvement loan secured on it.
