If you’re a homeowner or a private landlord, you can now apply for a loan to fund house repairs and energy saving improvements through a Council-backed scheme.
The Home Improvement Loan is designed to help people who might find it hard to get a loan from a regular bank - such as older residents, those with low incomes, or people with health issues. Under the scheme you can borrow up to £25,000, while park home residents can borrow up to £10,000.
It can be used to fund projects including roof and structural repairs, heating and hot water repairs or replacements, and tackling damp and rot in the home.
