What are the main categories of refurbishment finance?
Light refurbishment finance
This pertains to the category of refurbishment loans used for minor-scale enhancements where there is no alteration in the intended use of the property. Typically, this loan type is employed to fund basic repairs and renovations. Some examples of such repairs and renovations include redecoration, installing a central heating system, fitting new windows or doors, installing a new kitchen or bathroom, or a combination of these upgrades, among others.
Landlords and property investors aiming to refurbish a single property can secure a loan for up to 75% of the project’s anticipated end value. However, lenders may consider more complex projects such as blocks of flats and multi-apartment buildings. It is worth noting that larger projects often come with higher borrowing rates.
Heavy refurbishment finance
Heavy refurbishment financing is well-suited for property investors seeking to undertake significant structural changes that adhere to building regulations. In the case of such loans, the lending criteria undergo alterations, and the rates are highly competitive. Projects that necessitate this type of financing encompass properties requiring planning permission, conversions, property extensions, and structural work, among other substantial alterations.
