Overview
A renovation loan is a purpose-bound instalment loan for renovation, refurbishment and energy-efficiency measures. Up to certain amounts no land charge is usually required – saving time and notary fees.
For energy-efficiency measures, public subsidies such as grants or low-interest loans are worth checking. We check with you whether a subsidy can be combined with your loan.

FAQ
Do I need a land charge?
Usually not for small and medium amounts. For larger sums a mortgage with land charge can be cheaper – we compare both.
Can I combine subsidies?
Often yes. Some programmes must be applied for before work begins, so please clarify this early.
Can tenants renovate?
For work in a rented flat you usually need the landlord's consent. The loan itself depends on your creditworthiness.
What if costs rise?
Plan a buffer of about 10 to 20 percent. Not every bank allows a later top-up.
