What is a home improvement loan?
A home improvement loan is a type of unsecured personal loan specifically designed to help you achieve your renovation goals.
Using a personal loan is the ideal way to transform your home and add value to your property, without worrying about finding a large sum of money upfront or spending years trying to save up enough to get started.
Simply borrow the money you need and pay it back over a series of fixed-rate monthly instalments.
What can I use a home improvement loan for?
You can use our home improvement loans to finance almost any project. Extend your house, convert your loft, add a conservatory, invest in some eco-friendly home upgrades, splash out on a new bathroom, update your kitchen… or simply use a small loan to fund your DIY dreams.
The choice is endless, but the question is this… what project do you want to get stuck into next?
Am I eligible for a home improvement loan?
You’ll need to meet the following lending criteria to be eligible for home improvement finance:
- Be aged 21 or over
- Be a permanent resident of the UK (and have been living in the UK for the past three years)
- Be in permanent paid employment, self-employed or retired with a pension
- Have an income greater than £10,000
- Have a good credit history
- Have a bank or building society account
Please don't make additional applications within quick succession of each other as this could impact your likelihood of acceptance. If you already have an existing personal loan application, but it no longer meets your requirements, you’ll need to contact our Loans team on 0343 351 9112 rather than making an additional application.
Are your home improvement loans unsecured?
All Novuna Personal Finance loans, including our home improvement loans, are unsecured.
This means you won’t need to put up your home or any other assets to ‘secure’ the loan. Our lending decision will be based purely on your creditworthiness and your ability to repay the loan.
There’s no risk of your house being repossessed if you fail to make your repayments, though it will be recorded on your credit report which could impact your ability to borrow in the future.
For more information, read our guide on the difference between unsecured and secured loans.
How much will my home improvement loan cost?
The cost of your loan will depend on how much you want to borrow, how long you want to borrow for and what interest rate you’re offered.
The higher the interest rate, the more you’ll pay each month. The rate you’re offered will be decided upon based on your personal information, financial circumstances and your credit history.
Our guide details the factors that impact how much a personal loan can cost.
Is a home improvement loan the best option for me?
There are a few different ways to fund your home improvement project. Do your research to make sure you’re choosing the right option for you.
Aside from taking out an unsecured loan, other options include: using your savings, getting a second charge mortgage, increasing your existing mortgage, remortgaging your home, releasing equity, or using a credit card.
There are pros and cons for each option and you should consider them all carefully. Our guide on funding home improvements goes into more detail to help you make an informed decision.
