What Is a
Home Improvement Loan?

As a homeowner, there will undoubtedly come a time when you want to make some improvements to your home, which can represent a smart investment. Home improvements will often help increase the overall market value of your home, especially when done properly. Whether you have a new or resale home, making improvements and renovations are almost always a good idea.

Home improvements help maintain an up-to-date property and can help with current energy-efficient and environmental standards. For many people looking to renovate, financing remains the number one obstacle. Home improvement loans are a great way to secure the financing needed. These loans will help by providing a large sum of money to cover the necessary improvements, giving you a chance to make the changes and pay them off over time.

Just as with any type of loan, home improvement loans will have a variety of terms and conditions. In many cases, home renovation loans have shorter lengths and may provide a promotional rate to encourage quick repayment. Sometimes a home improvement loan may even offer a no-interest promotion if paid back within a certain period. It’s important to always look at the fine print of any loan offered. You’ll want to make sure the term details are suitable including any penalties for early repayment.

Take time to do some research on the types of home improvement loans available and what rates and conditions they include. Talk to a mortgage broker to determine how much money you need. Before you take out any type of loan, it’s important to feel confident that you’ll be able to pay it back in full. Take time to go over your current financial situation and decide what types of renovations are possible.

The Government of Canada promotes positive improvements and renovations, and offers home renovation tax credits to help offset the cost associated with your renovations. In many cases, energy or green-living upgrades and renovations may also offer a rebate or tax credit.
