Home improvement loans built to last.

Renovate, extend, retrofit, or transform — from £5,000 to £2.5 million — at our flat 1.5% APR. Sustainability-led projects qualify for our 48-hour green fast-track.

Funding for the home you imagine

From a new kitchen to a full structural renovation, our home improvement loans give you the capital to make it happen — with terms that match the scope of your project.

We are particularly proud of our green fast-track: any renovation that includes meaningful sustainability improvements (heat pumps, solar PV, insulation upgrades, energy-efficient glazing, water management) qualifies for a decision within 48 hours.

  • Landlords improving rental properties to higher EPC ratings
  • Heritage property owners undertaking conservation-grade work
Three banks turned me down because I'm self-employed. ASAF assessed my actual situation and lent me the renovation capital I needed. The repayment plan is comfortable. — Sophie R. · home improvement, £215,000 · Manchester, UK

How the loan is structured

You can draw the loan as a lump sum or in tranches that match your project's payment milestones. We work with your contractor or project manager to release funds in line with the build timeline — useful for larger renovations where staged drawdown reduces interest exposure.

The repayment term is flexible from 1 to 20 years. For smaller home improvements, a shorter term (3–7 years) is typical. For full renovations or extensions, we often see 10–15 year terms that keep monthly repayments manageable.

Sustainability-led projects automatically receive priority review and a 48-hour decision turnaround. We will ask for evidence of the green elements (specifications, contractor quotes, EPC projections) but the underwriting standard is the same — only the speed differs.

Frequently asked

The honest answers,
before you ask.

Heat pumps, solar PV and thermal, battery storage, insulation upgrades, energy-efficient glazing, mechanical heat recovery, rainwater harvesting, EV charge-points, and any renovation that demonstrably improves the EPC rating of the property. Your relationship manager will confirm eligibility upfront.
Yes. For early-stage projects we can issue an offer in principle based on a budget estimate, and finalise the figures once you have firm quotes. This lets you go to contractors with funding already committed.
Not necessarily. We can offer an indicative facility subject to planning consent. If your project requires planning permission, we typically structure the loan with a drawdown trigger upon approval, so you do not pay interest before the work begins.
Yes. Our home improvement loans cover labour, materials, professional fees (architect, structural engineer), planning costs, and any required contingency. Your relationship manager will help structure the total facility.
The 48-hour fast-track applies to any green-priority loan from £5,000 upwards. There is no minimum threshold — a £6,000 loan for a heat pump qualifies just as a £600,000 retrofit does.
