Home repair: A guide to the value of home improvement loans

Home repair loans provide financing for home improvement projects. These projects can become expensive, and sometimes financial help is needed. Here are some basic reasons to get a home improvement loan for your project: 

Should you get a home repair loan?

An unsecured personal loan is great for small to mid-sized undertakings. For example, you may want to add new flooring and countertops in your kitchen, or upgrade your bathroom.

This type of loan is typically easier to obtain than home equity loans, but your credit score and income information are still big factors. These influence your monthly payments, loan amount and interest rate. 

Common reasons to get a home improvement loan

A common reason for home improvement loans is to increase the value of a property. This loan allows you to complete projects that may make your home more appealing on the market. You might also need a home improvement loan to make your space more comfortable. 

Forgo putting your home at risk

Unlike a home equity loan, home improvement loans are safer. You don’t have to offer collateral to get this type of loan. Unsecured personal loans are primarily obtained through personal information. This includes your credit score and income. 

Quick financing

Home improvement loans are fairly quick to receive. You can be given a lump sum amount for the whole loan. In some cases, you can receive this funding within a day. 

Increase the value of your home 

Home improvement projects can boost the value of your home. Valuable additions like finishing a basement or building a deck can produce major returns on your investment.

When it’s time to start home improvement projects, proper financing is a must. You may require a personal loan, or your project may be larger and require a secured loan. Speak with a local lender to find out which loan options are best for you.
