What a renovation loan is

Home renovation loans: Paying for work on a property, from a small unsecured instalment loan to a secured renovation product.

A renovation loan ranges from a small unsecured instalment loan to a secured product tied to the property being improved.

Insurance on the asset is commonly required while the security is in place.

Default puts the asset at risk, which is the trade a borrower makes for the lower price.
