Property Refurbishment

Refurbishment Finance Solutions

Our refurbishment finance provides flexible funding for property renovation projects of all scales. From updating kitchens and bathrooms to converting single units into HMOs, we support your vision to add value and maximize property potential.

Light vs Heavy Refurbishment Loans

Light Refurbishment: Ideal for cosmetic improvements like redecorating, new flooring, kitchen updates, and bathroom renovations. These projects typically require less capital and shorter timeframes.

Heavy Refurbishment: Designed for structural changes, extensions, conversions, and major renovations. These comprehensive projects transform properties and significantly increase their value and rental potential.

How does Refurbishment Finance work?

Property refurbishment can be funded in two ways.

  1. Refurbishment loans are used to purchase properties that need work. You can borrow up to 75% of the property's current value from your lender (LTV). Renovations are paid for by you. Your lender won't supervise your improvements in this case.
  2. Taking out a loan to buy the property and renovate it is a good idea. Lenders release funds for the acquisition of the property, followed by funds for renovations in stages. You will be required to provide evidence to the lender that you are doing the work as agreed and that the money is being used properly.
  3. Who is eligible for property refurbishment loans?: Refurbishment financing is available for individuals, Limited Liability Companies (LLPs), partnerships, and offshore companies. You may be able to access better interest rates with previous refurbishment experience.
  4. Refurbishment financing: how long does it take? In general, renovation projects take between 10-14 days to complete. Depending on your application and the level of service you receive from the lender, this may vary, but our team can provide an estimate.

Refurbishment Finance FAQs

What is refurbishment finance?

Refurbishment finance is a short-term funding solution designed specifically for property renovation projects. It provides capital to purchase and improve properties, whether for light cosmetic updates or heavy structural renovations, helping investors and developers add value to underperforming properties.

What types of refurbishment projects can be funded?

We fund a wide range of refurbishment projects including kitchen and bathroom renovations, property conversions (single to multi-unit or HMO), structural improvements, extensions, roof repairs, rewiring, plumbing upgrades, and complete property transformations. Both light and heavy refurbishment projects are supported.

How much can I borrow for refurbishment?

Loan amounts typically range from £25,000 to £5 million, depending on the property value and scope of refurbishment. We can lend up to 75% of the property's current value (Day 1 LTV) or up to 65% of the property's value after refurbishment (GDV - Gross Development Value).

What is the difference between light and heavy refurbishment?

Light refurbishment involves cosmetic improvements like redecorating, new flooring, kitchen/bathroom updates, and minor repairs. Heavy refurbishment includes structural changes, extensions, conversions, major renovations, and significant property transformations that substantially increase value.

How long does refurbishment finance last?

Refurbishment finance terms typically range from 6 to 24 months, depending on the scope and complexity of your project. Light refurbishments may require 6-12 months, while heavy refurbishments often need 12-24 months to complete. Extensions are available if needed.

How are refurbishment funds released?

Funds are typically released in stages based on project milestones. Initial funds cover property purchase, followed by staged releases for renovation costs as work progresses. This ensures proper use of funds and project completion. A quantity surveyor may monitor progress for larger projects.

What exit strategies are available for refurbishment loans?

Common exit strategies include sale of the refurbished property, refinancing to a buy-to-let mortgage for rental income, refinancing to a residential mortgage if moving in, or using the improved property as security for further investments. We help structure the loan to match your intended exit strategy.
