Representative Example (4% fixed interest rate, Representative 4.2% APR).

Loans are subject to status and are typically protected by a Title Restriction.

Borrow £5,000 over 60 months, £92.08 monthly repayments. Total amount repayable = £5,544.96, including £20 fee for registering the Title Restriction against your property at the Land Registry. The £20.00 fee is only payable if a loan is agreed by Lendology and you decide to proceed with a loan. We do not charge interest on the fee. A Title Restriction means that you may not be able to sell your home without our permission unless the loan is fully repaid. This is a financial promotion approved by Lendology CIC. Missing payments could affect your credit rating and ability to obtain credit in the future.

We provide finance to a wide range of people, including those who may be excluded from mainstream finance providers.

Lendology provide a fixed interest rate on all of our loans so there are no surprises throughout the term of your loan. You can make overpayments on your loan account at any time, or settle the loan in full. There are no charges for over or early repayments, and your interest will be calculated based on the date your loan is settled. And the best bit, all of our home improvement loans are approved by people for people, not credit scores or computers.

Lendology work in partnership with local councils to lend to eligible homeowners.  Each local council has its own policy, funds are limited and loans are targeted at homeowners who may find it challenging to access credit elsewhere.

FAQs

We are always happy to answer any questions you have about our home improvement loans, or any of our other loan schemes. If our Frequently Asked Questions do not answer your query, please contact us and a member of our team can support you.

Why does Lendology require a Title Restriction?

Lendology requires a Title Restriction as we lend local council funds to homeowners. The local council require repayment of the loan should the loan property be sold during the loan term. The Restriction is only in place whilst there is a balance due on the loan. When you have repaid your loan in full, we will deal with the removal of the Title Restriction at the Land Registry. There is no fee or charge for this.

If during the loan term you decide to sell or transfer the ownership of your home, your legal representative will write to us and request a loan balance on the date of sale, and we will remove the Title Restriction when the balance of the loan has been received.

What does a Title Restriction mean to you?

Our Title Restriction means that if the loan balance is still outstanding when you sell your property, Lendology will require its funds returned as part of this process. Your legal representative will write to us and request a loan balance on the date of sale, and we will remove the Title Restriction when the balance of the loan has been received.

If you are re-mortgaging your home, your legal representative will contact us for our consent. We consider each case on a case-by-case basis and are likely to approve your re-mortgage if your new mortgage is similar to your previous mortgage when you took your Lendology loan. If we do not consent to your re-mortgage, we will confirm to your legal representative the loan balance required to settle the loan.

We will never ask you to sell your property in order to repay the loan.

What is a home improvement loan?

A home improvement loan is a way of spreading the cost of home repairs or improvements, but experiencing the benefit right away.

How do you get a home improvement loan?

When you complete a Lendology loan application, your dedicated Case Manager will complete a free affordability check and Credit Check so you can understand if we can lend in principle, and how much you could borrow.

Your Case Manager will review your income and outgoings using your Bank Statements and review secured (e.g. your mortgage) and unsecured (e.g. credit cards) borrowing.

We work with a wide range of homeowners, whether you are retired, self-employed, in receipt of state benefits, or employed full time.
After the assessment, you’ll receive a personalised, conditional offer valid for six months, giving plenty of time to find your chosen contractor to quote your preferred works.

We have clear timescales to complete your application, and you will always know the next steps and how to contact us.

How do home improvement loans work?

Home loans to fund improvements are much like other loans.  You decide on how much you need to borrow for your home renovation project or home repairs, and then apply to Lendology for a loan.

You may have some savings to put towards the total cost of works, so your home renovation loan may be less than the total cost of the project.  The cost of building materials changes daily, and you should ask your chosen builder or contractor how long their quote is valid for.  If the quote changes, you will need to agree with your builder the final cost before works start. 

Sometimes, unexpected works are uncovered as the project begins, and you may need to borrow more to cover the cost of your home renovation.  You should discuss this with Lendology as soon as possible as we may be able to help you with finance options. To help you work out any potential costings use our loan calculator above.

What are the best home improvement loans?

The best loans for home improvements are those which allow you flexibility but with a fixed rate of interest. Lendology proudly offer loans which have a fixed interest rate, no early repayment charges and the option to make overpayments at any time.

Lendology lend from £500 up to £20,000 or more, and the maximum repayment period for a capital repayment is 15 years. Our home improvement loan calculator enables you to calculate your monthly repayments over a loan term that suits you.
