About Our Home Improvement Loans

If you have any questions about our home improvement loans, please visit our help centre.

A home improvement loan is an unsecured personal loan taken out to cover all or part of the cost of renovations.

It’s up to you to decide what expenses you choose to cover with the loan.

So, if you’re planning an extension, a loft conversion or a new kitchen, borrowing money could help you to get building.

The best way to fund home improvements depends on your circumstances and the amount you need to borrow.

It’s important to assess the different finance options available to you as it may be more suitable for you to pay for your renovations with another option, such as:

  • Savings
  • Remortgaging
  • Second charge mortgage (secured loan)
  • Unsecured Personal Loan

Each option has pros and cons which can be different for every individual. We offer unsecured personal loans. Read our Ultimate Guide to Financing a Home Improvement for more information on available options.

It’s important to consider all payment and borrowing options available to you before you choose.

We offer personalised quotes so that you can decide whether it’s right for you.

Of course — you have the right to pay a personal loan back early or make an additional monthly repayment under the Consumer Credit Act. But it’s important to know that this may be subject to an early repayment charge.

To discuss your options with a member of our team, please contact us. If you have taken out a loan with us on or after 13th December 2021, you can also log in to your customer portal to contact us: https://myloan.shawbrook.co.uk/.

Alternatively, you can find out more by reading our guide on paying off a loan early.

 

You may have to pay an early repayment charge if you repay your loan before it’s due. This is a fee you may be charged if you pay back some or all the money you borrowed earlier than planned.

For more information, visit our guide to paying off a loan early.
