Planning and paying for improvements
We can help you understand the process in planning out your home improvement, and help you work out how to pay for it.
Paying for home improvements
Depending on the type of work you are looking to do, how much it's likely to cost and how soon you need to do it, you have a few different options. For long term projects, you could look to save up but for more urgent pieces you may consider a loan.
Set a savings goal
If you want to save up the cash to pay for the work on your property, you can set a savings goal linked to your savings account to help you get there.
Borrowing to pay for improvements
Take a look at the options available to you if you're over 18 and thinking about borrowing money to pay for home improvements.
Thinking of a home improvement loan?
Make a house your home with a personal loan between £7,500 and £14,950. Representative 6.6% APR. Other amounts available at alternative rates. Specific eligibility criteria apply.
