Want to fund home improvements through your mortgage?

Many homeowners choose to remortgage so they can raise extra funds for projects such as a new kitchen, loft conversion, extension, or energy efficiency upgrade. MoneyHelper notes that remortgaging is one of the most common ways to fund home improvements when you have sufficient equity.

Why people take this route:

  • Mortgage rates are often lower than personal loans or credit cards.
  • Spreading costs across the mortgage term can make payments easier to manage.
  • Some improvements, such as energy efficiency upgrades, may lower running costs or increase property value.

Local property values shape what’s possible. For example, average prices in Lincoln were around £184,000 in July 2025, while in North Lincolnshire they stood at £175,000. County-wide, Lincolnshire averages around £225,000 according to Plumplot. More equity usually means more options and better rates.

Raising funds for projects in Lincolnshire

We help clients across Lincolnshire secure remortgage deals to fund home improvements. Lender approach and affordability depend on your property value, income, and the project itself:

  • Sleaford & NG34: Popular uses include extensions and modernisations, with typical values around the county average.
  • Lincoln: Average price ~£184,000 (ONS, July 2025). Lenders often want contractor quotes for bigger structural projects.

  • RAF households (Cranwell, Waddington, Coningsby): Families often fund energy efficiency works or extra bedrooms during postings — timing matters for paperwork.

FAQs

Can I remortgage to fund any type of home improvement?

Not always. Lenders usually allow borrowing for kitchens, bathrooms, extensions or energy upgrades. They may be stricter with luxury items like swimming pools.

Is remortgaging cheaper than a personal loan?

Rates are usually lower, but you may repay over a longer term, which can increase total interest. We’ll compare both so you can see the real cost.

Do I need to provide quotes for the work?

Yes, most lenders ask for contractor quotes if the project is structural or significant. Smaller cosmetic works may not need this.

Will improving my home increase its value?

Often, but not always. Extensions and energy upgrades can add value, but it depends on location and local demand. We’ll talk this through with you.
