Home Repair Loan
Home repair loans may be available for owner
occupiers to carry out repairs to their property such as
replacement windows, doors and roofing works up to a limit of
£5,000 in any five year period.
The loans are interest free and are repaid
when the property is next sold or ownership transferred.
In order to qualify for this type of
assistance you will need to be in receipt of at least one means
tested benefit such as income support or guaranteed pension credit.
In some cases a loan may be available for a registered disabled
person or someone over the age of 60 years.
