What you need to know about a home improvement loan

What is a home improvement loan?

From kitting out your kitchen to knocking down walls, getting a home improvement loan could help pay for your DIY dreams – whether you're doing the work yourself or paying a tradesman.

It's a type of personal loan that can spread the cost of home improvements. Everyone's financial situation is different, so always consider if a home improvement loan is right for you.


What could you use a home improvement loan for?

You can use a home improvement loan for essential work such as new tiles in the bathroom or patching a leaky roof. Other examples include:

  • Upgrading your kitchen with new cabinets, countertops or appliances.
  • Creating an extra room or extension.
  • Replacing old carpets with something new.
  • Repairing your decking, putting down a patio, or landscaping your garden.
  • Battling your bills with energy-efficient upgrades like solar panels, new windows, or insultation.
