Home improvement loan questions and answers

What is an unsecured home improvement loan?

You borrow an amount of money without securing the loan against any asset. You’ll need a good credit rating to get this.

How do unsecured home improvement loans work?

Apply online or in the app and we’ll let you know if we can lend you the money. You can see what your monthly repayments would be using our calculator.

How much can I borrow for home improvements?

You can apply to borrow up to £50,000.

Can I borrow more on my mortgage for home improvements?

You can apply to borrow more on your mortgage with us. You’ll need to book an appointment to talk to us about this.

Is it cheaper to remortgage or get a home improvement loan?

This depends on how much you owe on your mortgage and on your personal circumstances. It’s best to talk to us about this, so we can help you decide which option works best for you.

Is a loan the best way to pay for home improvements?

It’s all down to your personal circumstances and what suits you best. You could consider a personal loan, or consolidating your debt. Or you could save up and pay for it when you have enough money.

All loans are subject to your financial circumstances and borrowing history at the time you apply.
