What is a home improvement loan?

If you own your own home, it may be that you can take out a homeowner loan for any improvements, which is typically secured against your home.

You may also be able to take out an unsecured loan which is also known as a personal loan or payday loan and not secured against anything valuable that you own as security.

How does it work?

A home improvement loan could help you upgrade without you having to move to a new house or apartment. With a personal loan, the repayments are likely to be fixed and over a shorter period of months. With a homeowner loan, you may be able to borrow more, for longer, and quite possibly with lower interest rates. Hopefully, this will add value to your home in the process.
