A home improvement loan is an unsecured personal loan taken out with the specific purpose of covering all or part of the cost of home improvements.
With an unsecured personal loan, you don’t need to be a homeowner as the amount borrowed isn't secured against your assets, such as your home or car.
Shawbrook home improvement loans are built to fit your needs. You can borrow between £1,000 and £35,000 and agree to pay this back over a set period (one to seven years) with fixed monthly repayments.
It’s up to the borrower to decide what home improvement expenses they choose to cover with their loan.
For more information, visit our guide to home improvement loans.
Whether a home improvement loan is the best way to pay will depend on your circumstances and the amount you want to borrow.
At Shawbrook, when you apply for a quote, we’ll offer you a guaranteed personalised rate. So you can understand how much you'll pay back before you agree to take out a loan.
