Make Your Dream Home A Reality With A Renovation Mortgage

We compare the top mortgage lenders to find you the best rates, guiding you from first application to final approval.

What Is A Home Renovation Mortgage?

A renovation mortgage incorporates the cost of renovations into your mortgage. Have a mortgage already and want to renovate your home? A renovation mortgage will help you make the home improvements you can’t stop thinking about. First-time buyer who found a fixer upper? A renovation mortgage will help you turn your dream home into a reality. 

And because lenders consider the estimated value of your property after renovations, not just its current value, you may be able to borrow more and reduce the interest rate you’re currently paying

Structural Renovation

If something is being removed from or added to the property, such as an extension, you will need a structural renovation mortgage. This requires you employ the services of an architect or engineer to oversee all works and approve the costs.

Non-Structural Renovation

Let’s say you’re buying a property that is habitable, but needs some upgrades such as a kitchen, new windows, bathrooms or doors before it’s finished. Then you need a non-structural mortgage.
