Get your remortgage journey underway in 3 simple steps
Providing that you meet eligibility criteria, you could remortgage to cover the cover the cost of home improvements. You would then pay this money back as part of your mortgage, as well as interest.
Your current lender may consider lending you more. This would likely depend on how much of your current mortgage has been paid of and whether your current property has significantly increased in value.
If you have sufficient money in savings, then you would avoid paying interest. Alternatively, you could use a credit card or personal loan, though these would typically have a shorter repayment term than remortgaging - so your repayments would be higher - and are usually capped at around £35,000.
