What is a home improvement loan?

You can use a home improvement loan to pay for work to improve your home and increase its value. This could be anything from installing a new kitchen or bathroom to building an extension or loft conversion.

You can consider two loan types for your home improvement project: an unsecured personal loan, or a secured loan. The key difference is that the lender does not secure an unsecured loan against your assets, such as your home.

 

Unsecured personal loans

  • Access offered by Asda Money
  • Usually a small, fixed-rate loan for personal use
  • Normally for amounts between £1,000 and £25,000
  • The amount you can borrow and the interest rate available depend on your personal circumstances and your credit score

Secured personal loans

  • Not offered by Asda Money
  • Typically for sums over £15,000
  • Generally repaid over longer periods (5 to 25 years)
  • The amount you can borrow and the interest rate depend on credit history, your assets and personal circumstances
  • Lenders need security in the form of an asset (usually your home). This means that your home could be repossessed if you do not keep up the repayments on any debt secured against it

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up the repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured against it.

What can I use a home improvement loan for?

You can use a home improvement loan for:

  • Decorating
  • Furniture
  • A new kitchen
  • A new bathroom
  • Single storey extensions
  • Conservatories
  • Loft extensions

Looking for a loan to fund something outside the home? At Asda, we help you compare loans for everything from Weddings and Holidays to Cars and Debt Consolidation.

How much can I borrow?

Choosing the right loan amount for you involves careful consideration. Asda loans provide access to a wide panel of lenders that will provide multiple loans offers that are tailored to you and your circumstances.

Our panel of lenders offer loans up to £25,000 with repayment terms between one and seven years. The individual lender will determine the interest rate and exact repayment term.

Things to consider when taking out a home improvement loan

As with all loans, you’ll pay back more than you borrow due to interest rates.

Consider that you may not add the equivalent value to your property through home improvements made with a loan.

You must ensure you’re able to afford your monthly payments and make them on time. If you miss any payments or default on the loan, this will negatively impact your credit score.

A low or bad credit score may reduce the loans available to you in future, and result in higher interest rates.
