Home improvement loans are home loans used to finance improvements on your house or property. These loans are used to maintain or increase the value of your home. This can include repairs, a new kitchen, a new bathroom, an extension or general property improvements. Landscape improvements and swimming pools can also in many cases be considered home improvement. Generally, all actions that can be considered to increase the value of the property in such a way that it increases the expected sales value of the home or the property are to be considered home improvements.
Types of home improvement loan
There are several different loan and financing types available:
* First mortgage
* Second mortgage loans (Home equity loans, Home equity line of credit)
* Refinancing solutions
* Unsecured loans (Personal loans)
* Grants
Before considering the loan options you should have a detailed plan for the home improvement you intend to carry out. In this plan you should include both the calculated and estimated costs for the improvements, but also the value improvements you are expecting. In a later stage you will in many cases be required to present this information to the lender, therefore you should also get estimates and quotes from contractors.
