DECISION IN PRINCIPLE

What are the main categories of refurbishment finance?

Light refurbishment finance

This refers to the type of refurbishment loan used for small scale upgrades where there is no change in the intended use of the property. In most cases, this loan type is used in funding basic repairs and renovations. Some of the repairs and renovations include redecorating, the installation of a central heating system, fitting new windows or doors, fitting a new kitchen or bathroom, or a combination of such upgrades, amongst others.

Landlords and property investors seeking to refurbish a single property can borrow up to 75% of the project’s expected end value. Most lenders, however, will consider more complicated projects such as blocks of flats and multi-apartment buildings. Notably, bigger projects come with higher borrowing rates.

Heavy refurbishment finance

Heavy refurbishment financing is suitable for property investors looking to carry out major structural changes that are bound by building regulations. For such a loan, the lending criteria also changes with the rates being highly competitive. Some of the projects that require such financing include properties requiring planning permission, conversions, property extensions, and structural work, among others.
