Things to consider about the FCCS Home Improvement Loan
This loan is designed for anyone planning to make sustainable changes to their home, including things like installing a rainwater tank, solar panels, insulation and double glazed windows. The Home Improvement loan is a secured personal loan, which means you will need to offer an asset as security. The type of asset will vary depending on your own situation.
The variable interest rate of the Home Improvement loan means you are not locked into a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan. If market interest rates drop, you could save yourself some money over the life of the loan. You also save money with the free online redraw option and no penalty fees when making additional payments.
If you prefer not to offer an asset, you may want to consider the unsecured personal loan which can be used for anything from planning a holiday to consolidating your debts.
