Best Way to Fund Home Improvements

Would you like to improve your home? Is your property in need of some TLC? Perhaps you’d like a new entrance door? Or maybe your windows aren’t as efficient as they used to be? Perhaps you’re in need of more space and you’d like to extend your home with a stylish conservatory or orangery? Whatever your home improvement requirements, it’s important to plan carefully. Home improvements can be expensive. There are, however, several ways to fund your home improvements without breaking the bank.

Use your savings

If you’ve got a decent amount of savings, now could be the perfect time to use them. Low savings rates mean that savers are not benefitting from their funds. Investing your money in your home is an excellent idea and will bring a variety of benefits you may not have considered. When you decide to use your savings to improve your home instead of on holidays, a new car, or to fund your retirement you are making a shrewd investment.

Investing your savings in your home can greatly increase its market value. This is excellent news whether you’re investing for the long-term or you want to sell your home. Home improvements will also greatly improve your standard of living. A warmer, safer home will provide a better standard of living while you’ll also make potential savings on reduced energy bills.

Unlock your home’s true value

If you’re planning a full-scale home extension it may be worth speaking to your mortgage lender to see if you can release some equity from your home. Increasing your mortgage should not be a decision which is taken lightly. It’s imperative that you can afford any increases to your monthly payments and that you are fully aware of any extensions to your mortgage period.

If you’re comfortable with re-mortgaging your home to pay for your home improvements, it’s a great way to enjoy a better standard of living without impacting your savings.

At Smile Windows, we install a wide variety of high performance glazing products. If you’d like advice on any of our products or services or you’d like to find out if we’ve got a finance deal to suit your needs, contact us today. Give us a call on 07758 941050 or send us a message online.
