What is a home renovation loan?

A home renovation loan involves borrowing money from a lender to help finance any improvements you'd like to make to your property. As with most other types of loan, you'll borrow a certain amount, which you then pay back over an agreed period, plus interest.

Sometimes, renovation loans can be difficult to secure through traditional lenders such as banks. With Dot Dot Loans, you can apply quickly via our website and find out if you've been approved soon afterwards. Home improvement loans are issued subject to affordability checks.

Using your home renovation loan

Home improvement financing could be used for a wide variety of projects, including:

• Building an extension
• Redecorating
• Landscape gardening
• Fitting a new kitchen or bathroom

You may also need a house improvement loan if unexpected bills have cropped up and left you in a difficult financial situation. For example:

• Fixing a broken boiler
• Repairing a damaged roof
• Replacing broken appliances such as an oven or fridge
• Fixing faulty wiring or electrical systems

Whatever you need your home renovation loan for, we're here to provide a hassle-free solution.
